This paper describes the design of the Murray and Wolverine River rail bridges, two of the largest river crossings on British Columbia's Tumbler Ridge branch line. These unique railway bridges feature a single-cell, continuous steel box girder superstructure supported by pairs of steel delta legs. The top flange of the box girder is an orthotropic deck plate that is a part of the ballast containment trough. Stability of the delta legs is provided by posttensioning of their bases to the concrete substructure. Key words: rail bridge, steel box girder, steel delta legs, orthotropic deck, posttensioning.

The Impact

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration is running a project “Ferry free coastal route E39” which includes replacing ferry crossings by bridges or tunnels across fjords in Western Norway. A floating bridge concept was proposed in the fjord-crossing project for Bjørnefjorden. As there are regular cruise routes passing by the bridge, it raises the concern for the consequences of accidental ship collision with the bridge girder. During the collision, the interactions between the bridge girder and the ship structure can be significant. Thus, in the design of the proposed bridge it is vital to evaluate the safety of the ship and the bridge. In this paper, detailed finite element models of a cruise ship and a steel box girder are developed. The impact scenarios and structural damages are studied. The results show that the proposed bridge girder design is generally safe to resist normal accidental ship collision loads. Numerical model of the whole bridge is also developed for further study of bridge global response subjected to ship collision load.
