126 Used software: ESA-Prima Win • Type: cable stayed concrete-steel bridge • Location: Beernem, Belgium • Total Steel weight: +/- 215 tons • Total length: 98 m width: 4,5 m The bicyclist and pedestrian bridge of Beernem is build to cross the canal Ghent-Ostend between VaartNorth and the Stationsstreet in an easy and safe way. It connects the station district with the centre of the village. The bridge is also a surplus value for the yacht-basin of Beernem. This connection is a touristic trump to expand the yacht. The bridge can be described as a cable stayed bridge with a mixed concrete-steel deck. The deck consists of a concrete slab which is supported by 4 longitudinal beams. These longitudinal beams have a common lower flange which is curved. The pylon is an A-shaped pylon. The legs of the pylon have an elliptical cross section of which the dimensions are variable along the height of the pylon. Use of ESA-Prima Win Description of technical questions to be solved with ESA-Prima Win Both, for the dimensioning of the bridge in the traffic situation and the erection engineering of the bridge, ESA-Prima Win was used. From point of view engineering this project has several challenges. First, there was the fact that the bridge deck was mixed concrete-steel. This implied a deck calculation in several stages with different stiffness factors and Bicyclist and pedestrian bridge, Beernem The bridge of this project is build to cross the canal Ghent-Ostend in an easy and safe way. It connects the station district of Beernem with the centre of the village. This bridge is also a real surplus value, a touristic trump for the yacht-basin of the town. The bridge is a cable stayed bridge with a mixed concrete-steel deck. The deck consists of a concrete slab which is supported by 4 longitudinal beams. These longitudinal beams have a common lower flange which is curved. The pylon is an A-shaped pylon. The legs of the pylon have an elliptical cross section of which the dimensions are variable along the height of the pylon.
