TRUCTUReS COMPRISING these features are
normally categorized as special structures.
The design of special structures accompanies the
advanced IT technology which has been developed
during the past 20 years and the very innovative
programs available for performing Finite
element Analyses (FeM). This is indispensable
when designing bridges and engines as well as in
the design of offshore structures, wind farms etc.
Many of the tasks performed by ISC lie specifically
within the field categorized as special structures
i.e. bridge building, construction, the power
sector, the off-shore sector and the wind farm
sector.
The contents of the tasks span widely, both when
it is a matter of the structures’ sizes, the mechanical
variations and in the choice of materials.
The main qualifications needed in order to carry
out the special structure designs are primarily
that the expertise and know-how is present but
obviously also that the tools which in a manageable
way can handle the documentation of the
structures according to the current available
standards are available.
The creativity of the architects’ minds often results
in special structures and it is the elements
in the structures that provide interesting challenges
to the engineer while handling the assignment.
The processing of many of these spatial structures
of various kinds we see nowadays would
not be possible without help from the available
modern IT technology. One might find that exactly
this has been essential for the design of many
of the extremely creative structures we have
seen erected during the recent years.
ISC has been fortunate to be a player in this field
and has several special structures and solutions
for these lined up on the drawing board. This applies
for the off-shore jacket structures, extreme
piping structures, various engine foundations,
mounting tools for suspension bridges, special
bearings for swing bridges, mounting equipment
for wind farm parks, foundations for extreme
deep waters, the design of one of the largest
bridges in Sweden, the Sundsvall Bridge among
others.
The design of the largest european swing bridge
namely the Odin’s Bridge requires a special new
bearing system which is able to handle the demands
of the opening frequency and static loads.
The Sundsvall Bridge also provides extraordinary
geometrical and static challenges which are only
solvable with the help of the modern IT software
due to the increasing complex demands of lifetime
estimates, oscillation calculations etc.
