Elbow River Cable-Stayed Bridge, Calgary, Canada
Elbow River Bridge is a single-span, cable-stayed bridge spanning the Elbow River near Downtown Calgary, Alberta. The bridge has a span of 48.5 metres (m) and is the first vehicular cable-stayed bridge in Alberta. Limiting roadway elevations at the top of the deck and free-board limits at the bottom left very little room for deck thickness. A cable-stayed bridge was suggested as an option by the design team, as it reduced the deck-thickness requirement and eliminated the need for a pier in the river, which also helped with the tight construction schedule. The project delivery method was similar to design-build except that both the consulting engineer (CH2M HILL) and the contractor (Graham Construction) were hired by the owner. This paper describes the different aspects of the bridge's design and construction, including the selection and design of main components, analysis of the bridge, and interaction between design and construction.
