Load tests carried out successfully.
Structural Health Monitoring System during construction and load testing.
Two suspension bridges with O-shaped pylons were erected in the scope of the “Lusail Development Project”. The lengths of the two bridges amount to 204 and 186 metres. Both structures have six lanes each.
For one of the bridges a temporary monitoring system with numerous sensors at the structure was planned and installed for relevant coonstruction phases.
The objective was measurement and monitoring of the structural behaviour during construction and the examination of the planning assumptions.
On 8 August 2018 the concluding load test of Lusail Marine Bridge No. 8 accompanied by measurements was performed.
