The Hardanger Bridge monitoring project

The Hardanger Bridge monitoring project

 

The Hardanger Bridge, opened in 2013, is a 1380 m long suspension bridge crossing the Hardanger fjord in western Norway. The main span is 1310 m long, which makes it the longest suspension bridge in Norway and among the longest in the world. The two concrete bridge towers are 200 m high, made using the slip forming technique. The main span consists of a wedge-shaped steel box girder.

The main objective with the monitoring project is to study the dynamic behaviour of the suspension bridge, in particular the the wind-induced response is of high interest. All data generated from the extensive measuring system is directly used in research related other bridge aerodynamic studies.

The monitoring system consists of the following sensors (illustrated in Figure 2):

  • 20 triaxial accelerometers
  • 9 anemometers
