Client's expectations
Project description
New township in Doha in Qatar to
200.000 residents
Marinas
Business center
Entertainment
Beaches
Hotels
5 billion dollar projects
9 marine bridges
Two of the bridges needed to be very
unique

3 AEPTEMBER 2014
Client's expectations
Concepts developed together with

Dissing+Weitling
Cable Stayed landmark
Arch bridge landmark
Suspension bridge landmark
Client chose the suspension bridge
Because:
First of its kind in the world
A true landmark for Lusail
Circle could resemble the Q in Qutar
Circle represent the sun as the
source of life

Design concept
Form and functionality unique

Fantasy concept
Like art
Lighting and illustration to become
landmark for Lusail in Qatar
= The challenge was set
3 SEPTEMBER 2014
Design
Self anchored suspension bridges

Suspension bridge concept with app.
200m bridge lengths
Self anchored suspension bridges with

one cable plan
Cross girders and hangers per 6m
Ring diameter of 50m produced in high
strength steel over the deck and high
strength concrete under the deck
3 SEPYEMBER 2014
Design
Self anchored suspension bridges

Composite bridge deck with closed steel box
Steel box and main cable corrosion
protected by dehumidification system
3 SEPTEMBER 2014
Design
Main cable
Mono cable
Cable anchored at ring and at bridge
ends and down to the anchor block
Like a two tower suspension bridge with
double length
3 SEPTEMBER 2014
Design
Cable system
Main cable 7 locked coil strands 140,
13900mm^2, min 18,7MN
Main cable 424 dehumidification system
3 SEPTEMBER 2014
Design
Anchor of Main cable at bridge ends

Bridge self anchored partly
Main span fully anchored for main span
Side span anchored at bridge deck and

at the anchor block
Anchored
down due to
uplift

Design
Anchor of Main cable at pylon

Cables are anchored at pylon ring.
Anchor saddle would be long is not
anchored individual

Hangers
Hangers pre-fabricated locked coil
strands 70, 3390mm^2 and min.
strength of 4.8MN
Hangers protected by HDPE pipe

Design
Cable clamps
Cable clamps design very compact and
unique visual from the road.

Design
Bridge deck
Composite bridge deck with 250mm
concrete deck for weight and stiffness for
cable system
Max deformation 1/400*span
Single cable plan require torsion stiffness
= closed box girder
Pre-fab + insitu deck

Pylon leg
Pylon leg
Bridge deck
Two precast elements used

Between the pylon legs insitu

concrete steel plate under for
strengthening
At bridge end in situ concrete
because of joints and steel plate
under the deck for strengthening

Design
Steel girder
Box girder closed
small cross girders per 6m max height 2,74m and width 1.0m
15
3 SEPTEMBER 2014
Design
Steel girder
Utilities running in the girders
hence relative large opening
16

Cross girder
Cross girder per 6m for the hangers
No cross girders between the pylon legs
no cross girders
