Abstract:

From since 2006 we have enterprises an intensive studies of about an innovative solution for a design of a very long suspension bridge. The proposal consist in a suspended bridge that connects the 15Km of the Gibraltar Straits with a “ultra-long” central span of 10Km, based on a new type of suspended structure combined with the use of CFRP technologies.

The aim of this paper is to present the latest result of this research that has brought in this last years, to the complete computer analysis of the entire structure and confirm the structural scheme that we have thought in origin.
