Book Description:
|
This book describes the large amount of work carried out since the early seventies on the Messina Strait Bridge, up to 2006. This work has included extensive studies, concepts and design developments to confirm the feasibility of such an enormous undertaking (a record lenght of 3,300 m for the main suspended span) and to optimise costs and expected performance levels. It becomes clear how the Messina Strait Crossing takes its place as a masterpiece in bridge engineering history.
