Stone Cutters Bridge (Hong Kong)

Lead main tower design reviewer responsible for the review of Stone Cutters tower design, which design was developed by third party (winning proposal at Concept Stage).

The tower is a central circular tapered tower with steel top section. This included the review of the composite concrete-steel tower structure and tower base anchorage, over a total height of 259m, located between two parallel box girders, one for each carriage way. The review focused on the following items, but not limited to:
a) Load transition between concrete and steel structure;
b) Impact of the tower performance due to a rigid connection between the deck and the tower;
c) Rigid connection (monolithic joint) between the tower and the longitudinal box girders, and;
d) Dynamic behavior of the tower under wind, both at construction and final stage.
