Russky Bridge, Russia

The Russky Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge in Vladivostok, Russia that has the longest central span in the world at 1,104 meters, and was built to serve the 2012 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference on Russky Island, connecting it to the mainland. It has a steel and concrete construction with a 25m wide deck 70m above the water and was completed in July 2012, opening under Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

RUSSKY BRIDGE, RUSSIA.

• The Russky Bridge (Russian:Russian Bridge) is a cable-


stayed bridge in Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai, Russia.
• It has central span of 1,104 metres and it is the longest
cable-stayed bridge in the world. It is steel and concrete
construction with 25m wide deck 70m above the water.
• The Russky Bridge was built to serve the 2012 Asia-
Pacific Economic Cooperation conference hosted at the
Far Eastern Federal University campus on Russky Island.
• It was completed in July 2012 and opened by Prime
Minister Dmitry Medvedev, and on September 3, 2012,
the bridge was officially given its name.

WHAT ARE CABLE STRUCTURES?
• A cable-stayed bridge has one or more towers (or pylons), from which cables support the bridge deck. A
distinctive feature are the cables or stays, which run directly from the tower to the deck, normally forming a fan-
like pattern or a series of parallel lines.
• The cable-stayed bridge is optimal for spans longer than cantilever bridges
• Cable-stayed bridges have been known since the 16th century and used widely since the 19th.
• There are four major classes of rigging on cable-stayed bridges: mono, harp, fan, and star.

Mono type Harp type

Fan type Star type


DETAILED INFO.
• The design of the bridge crossing has been determined on the basis of two primary factors:
Shortest coast-to-coast distance in the bridge crossing location 1,460 m .
The locality of the bridge crossing construction site is characterized by severe climate conditions:
temperatures vary from –31 to +37 °C ; storms bring winds of up to 130 km/h; 81 mph and waves of up to 6 m
in height; and ice formations in winter can be up to 70 cm thick.
• The piles were driven as deep as 77 m below ground and on the island side 120 auger piles were piled under
each of the two 320 m high bridge towers.
• The pylons are A-shaped, therefore, the use of standard forms was not feasible. An individual set of forms was
arranged for each bridge tower. They are made of B35 grade sulfate resistant Portland concrete.
• The span structure has an aerodynamic cross-section to assume squally wind loads. The shape of the span
cross-section has been determined based on aerodynamic design and optimized according to the results of
experimental processing of the scale model in the detailed design phase.
• Each cable is made of around 79 strands of 15.7mm diameter, with each strand compromising seven
galvanized steel wire individually covered with thin film of petroleum wax and encased in high density
polyethylene sheath.
