REGGIO EMILIA SUMMARY •The three bridges in Reggio Emilia are singular steel structures designed by Santiago Calatrava to improve vehicular access and to provide an impressive new entrance from the north. •These infrastructures are important links between the busy motorway A1, which links Milan to Bologna, passing the city of Reggio Emilia. The three bridges have played an important role in the urban regeneration of the city and were inaugurated in October 2007 •The main structure is the central bridge than spans the motorway and the adjacent railway. There are also twin bridges across two roundabouts next to the main bridge. •. This work has obtained the 2009 “European Steel Design Award” given by the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) at the international congress in Barcelona.. . THREE SIGNATURE BRIDGES. REGGIO EMILIA LOCATION CENTRAL TIED ARCH BRIDGE. MAIN DATA Client: T.A.V.

Project Value: 18 Million euros Total Steel S355 Tonnage: 4000 Tons Total Concrete Volume poured: 11000m3 Height arch over deck 45m , Main Span 220 m CENTRAL BRIDGE. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION Structural Layout: •The primary member in the structural scheme is the central arch (type “Bow‐String” with 220 m span and 45 m high) subject to direct compression. •The central bridge is a single span structure with one end fully fixed in the longitudinal direction. The other end has a longitudinally sliding support with a shock absorber. • The deck is a trapezoidal single‐cell closed box girder from which cantilever ribs spring every 3.5m to configure an overall 27m wide deck. . 220m CENTRAL BRIDGE. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION. CENTRAL ARCH • • The main arch is the primary member in the structural scheme subject to direct compression. Many calculations were developed in order to study the buckling behavior due to the slenderness of the arch, including 2nd order non‐linear buckling analysis that was undertaken on a two‐stage basis. At first stage a de‐stabilizing load was applied to the model to invoke an imperfection at the crown of the arch of 270mm within the geometry. At second stage a non‐linear buckling analysis was carried out using the deformed shape from Stage 1 as the starting point for the analysis. In this type of structure the cables restrain the in‐plane buckling of the arch via the hung‐deck with the out‐of‐plane buckling normally more restrictive (see figure). CENTRAL BRIDGE. ARCH SECTIONS •The arch consists of two 4 sided trapezoidal boxes with 1.02m distance between them. Both boxes are intermittently connected which contributes significantly to the behavior of the arch for lateral buckling. The inner face of each box is a truss and not standard plate.. •the arch is easy for inspection and maintenance during the service life of the bridge. The plate thicknesses of the arch range between 30mm and 65mm. CENTRAL BRIDGE. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION. CENTRAL ARCH • The springing of the arch is one of the more particular parts of the bridge as the big oculus captures the attention of the users. This part plays an important role in the structural scheme because is the element which carries all the forces from the arch to the deck. The springing is mainly a box made of thick plates with internal stiffeners in order to avoid the local buckling of the webs. CENTRAL BRIDGE. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION. DECK • • The deck is the tie of the structural scheme and as such is the member which is subjected mainly under tension efforts. The deck works also like a beam supported elastically by each pair of cables because it is the member of the bridge that supports directly the live loads. The deck is a trapezoidal single‐cell closed box girder from which cantilever ribs spring every 3.5m to configure an overall 27m wide deck (including lateral parapets). The box girder is made of plates of 30‐60mm thickness. The running surface for the vehicles is a steel orthotropic deck made of a 14mm plate with open longitudinal stiffeners of 20mm CENTRAL BRIDGE. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION.CABLES • The 50 pairs of 44mm diameter cables of the main bridge are locked coil with the fixed anchorage within the arch and the active anchorage in the central box girder. In this way the torsional rigidity of the structure is pre‐dominantly controlled by the torsional stiffness of the central box girder. CENTRAL BRIDGE. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION • • • SUPPORT CONDITIONS The central bridge, as a tied arch, is a single span structure with one support fully fixed in the longitudinal direction. The other end has a longitudinally sliding support with a 3500kN shock absorber (Lock‐Up Device or LUD) provided in order to allow the low velocity displacements primarily from temperature and to restrain the longitudinal direction for the seismic event. In this way the horizontal forces from the seismic action are distributed at both abutments. There are 4 pot bearings at the abutments. The abutments are made of reinforced concrete and they carry the reactions from the bridge to the ground by 36 units of 1.5m diameters piles at each abutment. STEEL FABRICATION CENTRAL BRIDGE. ERECTION. LAUNCHING The structure was erected taking into account that the traffic flowing along the motorway below should be maintained during the erection. The contractor proposed to launch from one side the deck with large segments of the arch on it. CENTRAL BRIDGE. ERECTION.LIFTING ARCH SEGMENTS . The segments of the arch were lift by means of three temporary towers provided with heavy lifting systems CENTRAL BRIDGE. ERECTION.LIFTING ARCH SEGMENTS CENTRAL BRIDGE. FINISHES CENTRAL BRIDGE. FINISHES TWIN BRIDGES. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION Structural Layout: The twin bridges across the roundabouts are cable stayed bridges consisting of 1400tons of S355 steel for each one. The pylon is positioned in the transversal plane to the direction of the bridge (Figure) and divides the deck in two symmetrical spans of 90m . 220m 90m TWIN BRIDGES. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION. CENTRAL ARCH • • The main bearing element is the central steel pylon, which is a 69m high arch and rises 58m over the platform The pylon is positioned in the transversal plane to the direction of the bridge and divides the deck in two symmetrical spans of 90m. The transversal section of the pylon is a non regular 7 sided polygon made of 38 mm plates. TWIN BRIDGES. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION. CENTRAL ARCH TWIN BRIDGES. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION. DECK • • The platform is 12.5 m wide and is supported by 25 pairs of cables. It is divided in one lane per direction for the vehicular traffic. The concept of the deck is identical to that of the central bridge, a central hollow box from which two cantilever ribs spring to form a total 14.6m wide deck (including lateral parapets). The ribs are spaced longitudinally at 3.5m centers. The box girder is made of 15 and 22 mm thick plates and the floor for the vehicles is a steel orthotropic deck made of a 14mm plate with open longitudinal stiffeners of 20mm TWIN BRIDGES. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION.CABLES • The 25 pairs of 60mm diameter cables of each twin bridge are locked coil type and they are anchored from the center of the deck to the pylon making a very original pattern TWIN BRIDGES. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION • • SUPPORT CONDITIONS Both ends of the deck are sliding supported. The central support of the deck at the mid span consists on a rigid connection with the pylon. This support is the point which restrains the deck longitudinally. Due to the fact that both ends of the bridge are sliding supports, one of the critical load conditions was the unsymmetrical case of just one span loaded. In this case the cables of the non loaded span play the role of back stays. In this typology of bridge under this event the resisting action is the bending and axial stiffness of the deck. TWIN BRIDGES. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION • • For the torsional load cases, the pot bearings (compression‐only supports) are supplied with a couple of bars (tension‐only supports) placed at both edges of the transversal section. In this way the torsional forces can be absorbed by taking advantage of the lever arm between one of the bars and the opposite pot bearing. Benefits in the cost of the bearings are also important because uplift‐resisting devices are not necessary and the pot bearing can be standard. The bars are anchored to the end of the rib with a slotted pin which allows the longitudinal movements of the deck. The abutments are made of reinforced concrete and they carry the reactions from the bridge to the ground by 15units of 1.5m diameters piles at each abutment. The pylon is supported by means of two piles caps of 42 piles of 1.5m diameter TWIN BRIDGES. ERECTION • The erection of the cable stayed bridges was more conventional but not less interesting. The erection consisted on supporting the deck with just two temporary supports. The Pylon was erected in three large pieces (two straight legs and the tip of the arch) without any support. Then the cables were installed and put in tension in order to remove the temporary supports TWIN BRIDGES. ERECTION TWIN BRIDGES. FINISHES TWIN BRIDGES.

DESIGN STRUCTURAL LAYOUT AND DESIGN As the Samuel Beckett Bridge is a swing bridge, two main conditions needed to be designed for: 1. “Open position”: No vehicular loading and no support at the ends. 2. “Closed position”: Subject to live loadings and support at the embankments.

SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. DESIGN STRUCTURAL LAYOUT AND DESIGN As the Samuel Beckett Bridge is a swing bridge, two main conditions needed to be designed for: 1. “Open position”: No vehicular loading and no support at the ends. 2. “Closed position”: Subject to live loadings and support at the embankments. The bridge was first designed for the “Open position”. ‐ Balance bridge, i.e. obtain minimal net moment at central support by prescribing the counterbalance mass. ‐ Achieve required profile of the structure and alignment at abutments: By specifying tensions in fore and backstays. ‐ Design the structure without vehicular loading. Secondly the balanced bridge with correct shape was designed for the “Closed position”. ‐ Design the structure with live loads. Therefore, all the elements of the bridge were designed according to an envelope of the two conditions. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. DESIGN DECK The main fore deck structure, the “front span”, is a multi‐cell box girder, made up from relatively thin (10‐ 20mm) steel plates stiffened internally using a combination of longitudinal bulb flats, angle sections and trapezoidal stiffeners. Cantilevered from this main box section are the ribs and steel decking which form the pedestrian and cycle tracks. The back span, which houses the counterbalance, is also a multi‐cell box girder but, made up from un‐stiffened steel plates (20‐60mm). The cells in the back span were generally filled with a heavy, self‐compacting concrete, which also supports the steel plates, preventing them from buckling locally. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. DESIGN DECK The cross section of the deck consists of two pedestrian and cycle tracks and four lanes for car traffic, two of which can be adapted to accommodate trams in the future. The top of the box at the front span consists of a 14 mm thick plate with 12 mm trapezoidal stiffeners. The 36 mm mastic asphalt layer was taken account of in the fatigue check for this orthotropic deck. The single, central, line of forestays supporting the front span from a curved pylon tends to lead to large torsional forces in the deck due to unbalanced live loadings either side of the line support. Therefore, an advantage of using a multi‐cell box section is its inherent torsional rigidity. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. DESIGN PYLON The pylon was fabricated from shaped and welded thick steel plates (80‐120 mm), forming a variable box section. The 25 forestays are attached to the curved, inclined and slender pylon. The pylon in turn transmits the applied cable reactions, via axial forces mainly, but also bending moments, to its base where it is fully connected to the main deck and the central lifting cylinder, and to its apex where it is restrained by the six inclined backstays. The pylon is restrained from buckling in the longitudinal direction by the forestays, but is slender in the transverse direction between the top and bottom where it is restrained by the backstays and deck structure. The buckling factor (for the first shape of buckling) was found to be 3.6. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. DESIGN CABLE STAYS The cable‐stays are all locked coil strands, with twenty‐five 60 mm diameter strands supporting the front span and a total of six 145 mm diameter strands towards the back.

DESIGN CENTRAL SUPPORT The main support in the river consists of eighteen 1200 mm diameter cast‐in‐place piles supporting a 15x15m pilecap, 3 m deep and a circular concrete pier of varying diameter housing the hydraulic turning and lifting equipment, and the horizontal and vertical bearings, which support the entire bridge while turning. The equivalent spring stiffness of the pier was found and applied as circular spring support in the FE‐model of the steel superstructure. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE LOCKING PIN & EXPANSION JOINT SYSTEM At the ends of the bridge hydraulically controlled locking‐pins attach the bridge structure to the housings cast into the abutments. The locking pins are designed as part of the bridge rotation mechanism and provide the final alignment of the bridge, vertically and horizontally. This is necessary due to the range of deflections at the bridge ends such as temperature effects and cable sag. An intelligent hydraulically controlled expansion joint system is installed. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION CENTRAL SUPPORT Site investigation revealed the possibility of water pressure in the rock exerting an uplift on the underside of the clay, such that it could cause the base of the cofferdam to heave. Pressure relief wells were installed and the piezometers indicated that the pressure under the base remained at safe levels during construction. The top section of the pier was complex in its geometry with the outside surface curving in two planes. Bespoke formwork was designed and assembled and the concrete cast in quarters. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION CENTRAL CYLINDER The central cylinder has a diameter of 2.5 m and has a plate thickness of 120mm. To reduce the friction moment resistance at the bottom, a 15 tonnes cone‐shaped cast item was welded on. At the level of the horizontal bearings Iconel (austenitic nickel‐chromium‐based superalloy) was welded on and machined to create a hard and low‐friction surface. This cylinder transfers the entire weight of the bridge (5,850 tonnes) and any out of balance moment when the bridge is turning or in open position. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION ROTATION MECHANISM SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION FABRICATION, ASSEMBLY AND TRANSPORT The deck was fabricated first in eight sections and the pylon in five. The size of the individual elements to was dictated by the facilities at Hollandia’s workshops (amount of handling necessary and their painting facility). Hollandia determined that the bridge deck should be made up of eight sections and that these, once painted, would be joined together on a prepared assembly area where the completed unit could be easily transferred onto a sea going barge for transport to Dublin. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION WELDING A range of welding processes were used during fabrication with each method selected to suit the joint configuration and position. Automated processes such as submerged arc were used whenever possible but with manual methods, mainly flux core, also being used extensively. All butt welds and a proportion of fillet welds were examined using UT methods for buried defects and MPI for surface breaking defects. All visible welds were ground flush due to architectural reasons. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLY SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLY As the deck deck sections came out of the paint shop they were positioned at the correct position and height at the assembly area, and welded to the adjacent section, finally forming one bridge deck. The pylon base section was prefabricated and fitted to the bridge deck and the remaining four sections were welded together, lifted positioned and temporarily supported whilst the final circumferential welds were laid. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION LOAD OUT The bridge was no ready to be transferred onto the barge. Trailers was positioned underneath the bridge and drove off the assembly area and onto the barge in a slow and controlled manner. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION SEA TRANSPORT The Contractor investigated the sea route from Hollandia’s fabrication yard in Rotterdam to Dublin. The East Link Bridge in Dublin was found to be the limiting width restriction and the Konigshaven Bridge in Rotterdam giving the height limit. A detailed follow up investigation identified that if some railings and street furniture could be temporarily removed from the East Link Bridge it would be possible for the complete bridge superstructure, including pylon and stays, to pass through on a suitable tide level. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION SEA TRANSPORT The superstructure was shipped to Dublin in May 2009. The journey from Rotterdam to Dublin was carefully monitored throughout the 628 mile journey. This took eight days to complete as the shipment was forced to shelter from high winds for a period before traversing the Irish Sea. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION SEA TRANSPORT The sea transport and the sudden appearance of a land mark structure received a lot of positive publicity in local and international media. The Samuel Beckett Bridge through East Link Bridge when arriving in Dublin. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION C.O.G. AND SKIDDING Following arrival in Dublin, with the bridge still supported on the barge and now moored to the quay wall, it was necessary to ballast the back span using heavy concrete and steel blocks to ensure the centre of gravity was located centrally within the support zone. The structure was then skidded along the sea going barge to a position that allowed the back span to be supported on a second barge, hence leaving the bridge support area free above the river. The bridge lifting cylinder had been positioned within the main support pier and would later be welded to the main structure. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION LOAD TRANSFER With the bridge now balanced and supported on two barges, at high tide the barges were moved so as to position the bridge support area directly above the pier that had been cast in the river. As the tide level continued to reduce, the barges could be moved away from the bridge leaving the structure balanced and supported on the rim bearing. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION FIRST ROTATION / CLOSING OF BRIDGE Once in position, the final welded connection of the bridge lifting cylinder was made and the hydraulic system connected and temporarily activated to rotate the bridge to span the river for the first time. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION COUNTER‐BALLAST Some of the cells are filled with a combination of steel blocks and concrete. In order to achieve the final bridge balance the amount of steel ballast placed on‐site during construction in these cells was adjustable. This allows for the addition or removal of mass in order to balance any future changes made to the super‐imposed dead loads on the bridge. The final balancing was carried out by removing the horizontal bearings at the central support, leaving only three vertical supports. If any of the two supports at the bridge ends did or did not not have any weight on itself, the counter ballast had to be adjusted until both had approximately no reaction. During this process one could easily calculate what the out‐of‐balance moment was knowing reaction, measured with load‐cells and arm of cantilever. SAMUEL BECKETT BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION GEOMETRY CONTROL As the Contractor reported actual dead‐loads and deflections a significant amount of re‐analysis was required to achieve a good balance between final cable forces and bridge deformations. Where cable forces were changed to amend the deformation of the ends of the deck, stresses in the bridge structure changed accordingly and had to be checked. The back span of the bridge is extremely stiff, whilst the pylon and front span deform relatively easily. This resulted in a complex equation with numerous variables, which was finally solved by amending levels at the abutments, ballast quantities and cable forces.

MALMÖ SUMMARY •The Turning Torso Tower is a high‐rise building for offices and dwelling designed by Santiago Calatrava in the city of Malmö. The shape of the tower is based on a sculpture called Twisting Torso, by Santiago Calatrava, which is inspired on a human body in a twisting motion. •The Tower has 55 floors and is composed by nine geometrically equal cubes, each of one consisting of six floors. The total height is 190 m. • The floors have a pentagonal shape with a surface of 420 m2. Each level rotate 1,62º with respect to the floor below. The total rotation between the lower plan and the top of the building is 90 º. •The main load bearing structural element is a central concrete core with an internal diameter of 10,5m and variable thickness between 2,5m to 0,40 m. •Another carachteristic element is the external steel truss that stiffened the tower against horizontal loads. TURNING TORSO. MALMÖ LOCATION HSB Turning Torso is located in Malmö ( Sweden ) at the Western Harbour area, near the sea and close to the city center. The intention of the owner HSB Malmö was to create a landmark for the city. FOUNDATION Main tower foundation •The foundation of the Turning Torso consists of a cylindrical box with a diameter of 30m and a depth of 15m. The foundation slab rests on the limestone bedrock identified in the Geotechnical Site Investigation and has a depth of 7m in order to counteract the effects of the water uplift and to guarantee the required maximum excentricity of the resultant of the ground reaction force on the slab and to minimize the required reinforcement amount. CONCRETE STRUCTURE Vertical Structural Elements Central Core • The main load bearing structural element for vertical and horizontal loads is the central concrete core, which has an internal diameter of 10,5m and variable thickness between 2,5m in the basement to 0,40 m at the top of the tower. • Inside this core there is the elevator and staircases secondary core. Concrete Column • There is a continuous reinforced concrete column (aproximate dimensions 1.5x1.5 m) located at the corner of the plans. CONCRETE STRUCTURE Conical slab: 90-40 cm thickness Deck level : Diagonals and Horizontals anchorages Standard Floors: 27 cm thickness Conical slab: 90-40 cm thickness CONCRETE STRUCTURE Standard Slabs •Each cube is composed of 6 rc slabs. The upper 5 are standard slabs 27 cm thick, fully fixed to the concrete core and supported by means of steel columns at the perimeter that transfer the load to the lower conical slab. STANDARD SLAB Deck levels : Diagonals anchorage • The upper slab of each cube or “deck level” is where the diagonals and horizontals are connected. These slabs are thicker at the anchorage area “DECK LEVEL” STEEL STRUCTURE Main Elements STEEL STRUCTURE Exterior exoskeleton •The exterior steel truss or exoskeleton provides additional horizontal stiffness to the building. • It is formed by the main column or spine (900 mm diameter pipe), which is connected to the diagonals and horizontals elements (variable diameter from 700mm to 300mm) • The main spine is braced at every level to the concrete floors by means of stabilizers, and has a pin joint at every cube in order to avoid large hyperstatical forces. STEEL STRUCTURE STRUCTURAL LOADS Wind • The wind effects were studied carefully at the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory, Ontario, Canada (Alan G. Davenport Wind Engineering Group). The determination of the overall structural loads and responses was made conducting force‐balance tests and pressure tests on a rigid model . The resonant response of the building due to dynamic amplification of the buffeting response at the natural frequencies of the building were determined analytically through the measurement of force spectra and the dynamic properties of the building. Together with the statistical wind climate model of wind speed and direction, predicted values of loads and responses were determined for various return periods. • The studies showed also that the peak acceleration at the top levels for a 100 year return period was 0,02 g, well below the allowed limits for residential buildings.

The model simulates all the concrete and steel elements as well as the foundations slabs and piles. Deck‐ level Standard level Perimeter columns Conical slab Shear Walls (radial and perimetral) STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS Verification of Concrete elements. Reinforcement area. •Due to the important hyperstatical forces and the interaction between the different elements (core, cloumn, slabs and shear walls ) it is not possible to analyzed each element isolated but to extract the forces from the global FEM model. After the analysis of the model the output results of the shell elements of the core, slabs and shear walls, and for all load combinations were processed with a post‐processing program in order to obtain the necessary reinforcement in both local directions and both faces of the element for the predominant case, considering all forces and moments and the material features. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS Analysis of displacements •The displacements for serviceability Limit State were calculated at the top of the buiding for the worst wind actions for a 100 year return period. • The maximum drift (lateral deflection) corresponds to south winds and the value was 360 mm . This magnitude is f/H=1/528, which is within the limits of total building drift for this return period. ERECTION PROCESS Erection Method • After finishing the foundations started the construction of the concrete core . The core was cast in a sliding form, which means that the form is suspended between vertical beams and can slide upwards, one floor at a time, by way of jacks. The walls around staircase and lifts were poured in forms suspended underneath the sliding form. The walls were poured in connection with the casting of the core. Once the concrete had hardened to a pre‐ determined degree, the core form as well as the forms for the staircase and lift shafts could then climb upwards to the next floor. • The next step in the pouring cycle was to form and pour the structural slab around the core before the cycle could be repeated with the core and lift shafts. Most of the reinforcement was prefabricated at shop in order to form large “steel cages” and then erected to its final position where can be overlapped . . ERECTION PROCESS •During the pouring of each slab the temporary supports were kept at least 7 levels below. •The core, lift shafts and structural slabs were poured with vibrated concrete while the transversal bracing walls under each cube were made with so‐called self‐compacting concrete. Because of its flow capacity, this type of concrete does not need vibrating. This method was used because the transversal walls were made after the structural slab above and below them were finished, making it impossible to insert vibration rods down into the concrete. •The forms for the floors were rotated approx. 1.6 degrees for each floor in order to create the characteristic twist of the building. The time table dictated that a new floor tier was poured every 10th day on the average for more than a year ERECTION PROCESS • The erection of the exterior exoskeleton started when the construction of the concrete structure had reached the 5th cube and was completed few weeks later than the concrete. • Finally the façade and interior finishes were completed.
