Abstract
A device for a floating bridge 15 which is fastened at two anchorage points on the shore (18) is described and it is characterized in that it comprises at least one passage float (1) which is inserted as a part of a bridge construction for the passage of ships, and it forms a passage channel (200) for ships and also forms a foundation for a carriageway (111) which stretches across the passage channel. The floating bridge (15) is fastened ashore and to each side of the passage float (1) with the help of structure boxes (10, 10′).
Claims19
Floating bridge for fastening to two anchoring points on a shore including at least one passage section forming a passage channel for ships and a foundation for a carriageway across the passage channel,
- characterised in that said passage section is a passage float constituting a part of the bridge construction, having an approximate U-shaped cross section for the formation of said channel, and is fastened between power and strength-absorbing structure boxes of the floating bridge so that a joined structure is formed between the two anchoring points on the shore
- wherein a major portion of the forces which arise in a length direction of the floating bridge are transferred through said structural boxes and said U-shaped passage section such that there is formed a continuous transfer of forces through the entire length of the floating bridge.
