<p>The Frances Appleton Pedestrian Bridge is an innovative steel arch bridge with a 69m main span and curvilinear approaches along the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. It is the first Americans with Disabilities Act fully accessible 4.3m wide bridge connecting Boston’s historic Beacon Hill neighborhood to the Esplanade Park and Charles River. An overall architectural and structural theme was followed in the design of all bridge components including the main arch, Y shaped approach piers, circular stairs and curved ramps. The bridge is light, elegant and well-integrated into the landscape complementing an adjacent historic landmark bridge and seamlessly blending into the waterfront context.</p>

Design And Construction

A new chorded arch bridge is put forward by Professor Zhixiang zhou of Chongqing Jiaotong University. For further exploration by the bridge design and construction scheme of the feasibility and rationality, and to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis and probe the effective measures to deal with the closure error during in the rotating construction, a model made with by organic glass (ratio of the model to original bridge is 1/10) is has been experimented. In this test, the rotating down procedure of the construction was simulated and studied, possible closure errors were tested and corresponding measures are proposed, and the mechanical performances at key stages of construction and service were examined. Plentiful experimental data and some new knowledge about the chorded arch bridge were obtained from this test, which provided reliable technical guarantee for the actual construction.

Design And Construction

It is often said that every offshore oil field has its own environmental condition and oil property according to its geographical location. This means that it is very difficult to apply a specific standard design to any FPSO hull, which is usually preferred by many shipyards. This fact often leads to serious trouble for FPSO hull construction in terms of cost and delivery time. In order to cope with this problem, Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MES) developed a next generation offshore platform for FPSO, “Mitsui noah-FPSO Hull” (noah : New Offshore Adapted Hull), which consists of unique modular design and construction concept and simple hull form. Structural design is also modularized, i.e. common cross section and frame space, will facilitate to standardized topside module design. In fact, it can be constructed even in multi-shipyards as a consistent cross-platform. MES has obtained Approval In Principle (AIP) for the noah-FPSO Hull design and concept from American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Bureau Veritas (BV). In this paper, MES introduces these modular concept of the noah-FPSO Hull and its developed technical issues.
