Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman arch bridge in Hidd, Bahrain
published: 26 05 2003
The unique project of the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Arch bridge was started in April 2002
when fatigue and efficiency tests were carried out on 2 stay cables specimens in real scale assembled in the testing machines of the EMPA laboratories in Zurich (Switzerland) under the surveillance of the designer, Hyder Consultants UK.
This validating testing program led to brilliant results, with a positive fatigue behaviour and efficiency tests with excellent results, overcoming the 95% Fpk (nominal breaking load).
The steel structure of the Arch bridge was preliminary assembled by Cleveland Bridge Middle East in July – August 2002 in a dedicated area of the harbor of Dubai, U.A.E., where all steel parts were put together.
108 no. Tensacciai stays were here installed in the structure, 54 made of 16 strands and 54 made of 3, without tensioning and secured for sea transport.
In fact, in October, the bridge was moved onto a barge and transported to the final location of Hidd, Bahrain.
Here, after placing the structure over final abutments, stays were finally stressed.
Then a concrete deck was cast, giving permanent load to stays and structure: at this stage the installation program foresaw a regulation of stays’ load, which was carried out using dedicated Tensacciai adjusting jacks.
Installation of stays was completed with final wax injections in April 2003, few weeks after the starting of the war in Iraq.
Further details of the project can be found on the website of the General Contractor:
