Main features used in this application Unknown load factor and lack of fit force for cable optimization Moving load analysis with concurrent member forces Static and nonlinear dynamic time history analysis

Description on this project

The new Yalu River Bridge is the third bridge over the Yalu River between Dandong, Liaoning Province in China, and Sinuiju in North Korea. It is a cable-stayed bridge, 20km long including the supporting roads, and its construction began in October 2011. The new Yalu River Bridge was originally planned to be opened in October 2014, but due to delays on the North Korean side, the opening has been postponed indefinitely, as the bridge's road currently ends on a field outside of Sinuiju in North Korea. The bridge reportedly cost $350 million USD to build.
