Feasibility study 2006: • Building a 2nd bridge is feasible • One possible placing of the bridge in vicinity of the
exisisting bridge • One possible placing of the bridge somewhat 1km south of
the existion bridge involving deep sea foundations

Feasibility seminar for timber bridge crossing 2010: • 2 day seminar with a large number of bridge experts,
architects and officials. • Conclusion is that to build a timber bridge across Mjøsa is
feasible • 3 alternative solutions outlined.

Conceptual design 2nd crossing 2012-13: • Southern line preferrable • Wide range of alternatives examined wrt. technical
solution, construction, esthetics, environmental impact and costs
• Elimination method has revealed two alternatives: • Concrete bridge with extradozed main spans • Timber bridge

Why composite structure timber-concrete?
• Big number of expension joints is not recommended due to maintainence
costs
– At each supprt 23 joints
– At every other support 12 joints
– As existing bridge 6 joints
– At abutments 2 joints
• A floating concrete deck with only 2 joints will require a lot of sliding
bearings
– Vertical supports every 10. m give 300 bearings
– Horisontal supports at each columns give 42 additional bearings

Technical challenges
• Termal expension difference between timber and concrete
– Timber termal ecpension coefficient is about hlaf of concrete
– Maximum contraction about 50 degrees celcius
– This give an unconstrained movement difference if 190mm at each
end of the bridge
• Shrinkage of concrete
– Free shrinkage of app. 0,36 ‰.
• Expension/contraction due to variation in humidity
– 0,01 % per percent humidity content (fibre direction)
– Variations up to 12-16% RH
– Same direction as concrete shrinkage

Finite element analysis of composite action
• Model of 3 spans
• Loading
– Dead weight
– Traffic
– Temperature
• Dowel requirement
– 13ø19 pr m

Alternative shear connection between timber and
concrete
• Continous
• Nodal
