The
bridge connecting two sides of Martwa Wisla river is a part of Sucharski route.
The bridge was designed and
performed as cable bridge with single pylon. The pylon’s
support was founded on 50 piles of the diameter of 1800 mm and the length of 30
m with the chamber injection to increase the bearing capacity of the piles and
to decrease its
settlements. One static load test of single pile was carried
out on the site. The
Settlement of realised pylon foundation was also measured
by means of surveying. A detailed analysis of settlements has been carried out
on the basis of available data and new proposed method of calculation. The
obtained results were compared to general known methods.
