Abstract
An account is given of the design of a tubular steel road bridge across the River Tees barrage at Blue House Point, Stockton. The result of an architectural competition, the design comprises arches with circular infill members resulting in as transparent an appearance as was possible. Details are given of decisions taken during the design in order to accommodate the highest loading specified by the Department of Transport whilst keeping the original architectural concept. Initial analysis of part of the steelwork showed that the bridge steelwork behaved in unusual ways. A space frame model of the whole bridge was developed and analysed on a Sun Sparc workstation using Oasys GSA analysis software. 279 loadcases were examined. The final design which contains 350 tonnes of tubular steel and 280 tonnes of plates and cast steel, has a conventional reinforced concrete deck.
