| Abstract | The Tsing Ma Bridge, which is set to become a new landmark of Hong Kong and a testimony of its achievement, has taken its final shape. With a main span of 1,477 metres, this new landmark will be upon completion the longest bridge in the world carrying both vehicle and train. Commissioned by the Lantau Fixed Crossing Project Management Office of the Highways Department, a team of experts from the Polytechnic University's Department of Civil and Structural Engineering (CSE) in 1994 undertook to conduct a vibration study for the Tsing Ma Bridge construction project. Their important task involved indentifying the dynamic characteristics of the Bridge through measuring on site the vibration repsonses of the Bridge, including the cables, the deck and the towers. |
