Testing of the 3d Ob Bridge carried out in Novosibirsk
24.07.2014
Testing of the 3d Ob Bridge section over the flood plain took place in Novosibirsk. The bridge section withstood the design load of over 450 tons and proved to have a multiple safety margin. The test was carried out with sixteen KAMAZ heavy trucks of 30 tons each.
The preliminary test results show a major safety margin of Bugrinsky Bridge as all the test values are 20% lower than the design ones. Strength test of the 380 m long arch mid span will take place in the nearest future. About thirty KAMAZ trucks with maximum load will drive along the bridge after the cable tensioning and asphalt pavement are completed.
At the moment, 56% of the cable system or 22 cable groups have been installed.
Bugrinsky Bridge will be commissioned late September/ early October 2014 and will decrease traffic congestion in the city.
