This book describes the enormous depth of work carried out since
the early 1970s on the Messina Strait Bridge, up to the recent
award of the detailed design and construction contract. This
important work has included extensive studies, concepts and design
developments, with far reaching applications, which have all
confirmed the feasibility of this huge endeavour and have led to
the optimisation of costs and expected performance levels.
Attention is focused not only on the design itself, but also on
the context for the project (e.g. historical, geological,
seismo-tectonic and wind conditions; structural and mechanical
properties; project management and financial aspects; and
environmental considerations), and on the great challenges
involved. Thus, considering the innovations and specific solutions
adopted in overcoming the challenges presented by constructing a
world record span of 3,300 metres at this site, it becomes clear
how the Messina Strait Crossing will take its place as a
masterpiece in bridge engineering history.
This book will be of interest to bridge and structural
engineers, geotechnical and wind engineers, mechanical and
earthquake engineers, graduate students in all these areas and all
others with a broad interest in bridge design and engineering.
