STRUCTURAL PLAN OF MARINE BRIDGES FOR AIRPLANES AND APPLICABILITY OF JACKETS FOR SUBSTRUCTURES

Abstract

Jacket structures have many features as follows: a few foundation piles and reduction of site construction period caused by extremely high horizontal rigidity, moreover high manufacturing quality. In the construction of Tokyo International Airport Re-expansion Project, jacket substructures are applied to pile-elevated structures and connecting taxiways. This paper describes structural plan of marine bridges for airplanes, moreover applicability of jackets for substructures to marine bridges for airplanes.
