Structural Analysis of the Celtic Gateway Footbridge Design
A cable stayed, stainless steel footbridge connecting the port in the Welsh island of Anglesey to the town center of Holyhead
Abstract
The "Celtic Gateway" is a cable stayed, stainless steel footbridge connecting the port in the Welsh island of Anglesey to the town center of Holyhead. The footbridge is supported by two cable-stayed, stainless steel arches lying on inclined planes, supporting a steel deck with concrete infill.
The bridge was built by Cimolai Spa of Italy who needed a complete third party structural assessment on the final footbridge design before the construction of the bridge was started.
