132 Used software: ESA-Prima Win • Type: Cable stayed mixed concrete-steel bridge • Location: Dilsen-Stokkem, Belgium • Total steel weight: ± 340 tons • Total length: 123.50 m span: 88 m Width: 5 m Height Pylon: 42,5 m 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 an engineering point of view this project has several challenges. Firstly, there were the curved cross-sections of the main beams. The possibility of input and the use of the graphical section by ESA-Prima Win was a big advantage. Secondly, there was the limitation of the reactions on the bridge end supports. Also here ESA-Prima Win proved its possibilities. Thirdly, there was the simulation of the realistic behaviour of the cables. The cables were simulated Cable stayed bridge, Dilsen-Stokkem The bridge of this project is built to cross over the Zuid-Willemsvaart between Dilsen and the new industrial zone of Lanklaar, the IQ-park. It can also be considered as the “missing link” in the renowned and busy bicycle route network of Limburg. The 88 meter long bridge deck is supported by 2 x 8 cables which are connected to the top of an A-framed curved pylon. The curved pylon is 43 m high and has a width of 11,50 m at the base. The stability of the pylon is guaranteed by 2 x 3 cables which are going backwards to a big concrete foundation. The pylon and bridge were completely assembled in the workshop. Two pontoons have transported the two pieces to the site and were used for the erection. After the assembly of the pylon, bridge deck and cables, the concrete slab on the deck was finished.
