Project name: Svinesund Bridge Project period: 1999-2005 Owner: Vegverket, Sverige Client: Vegverket, Sverige In brief: Svinesund Bridge is a unique bridge concept with a central concrete arch and cantilevered bridge decks on either side Border bridge between Norway and Sweden Project size: Building cost ca. 500 MNOK. The new Svinesund Bridge is the new bridge connection on the E6 at the border between Norway and Sweden. It crosses the Iddefjord and has a navigation channel channel of 55 x 70 metres. The bridge project was carried out as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract, and the bridge was opened as part of Norway’s centenary celebrating 100 years of independence. Aas-Jakobsen was the winner of the architectural competition for the bridge, along with the architects Lund&Slaatto. After being awarded the project, Aas- Jakobsen delivered the detailed preliminary project and basis for the EPC contract. The main bridge consists of a slim, central concrete arch with a span of 247 metres, with a cantilevered steel deck on either side, and a typical span of 26 metres, suspended by stays extending up to the arch. The viaducts consist of centrally located columns and double steel decks on either side, with a typical span of 75 metres. The total length of the bridge is 704 metres. The new Svinesund Bridge has become an iconic structure which has received great acclaim for its bold design and adaptation to the landscape and bridge location.

Monitoring the Static and Dynamic Behavior of the New Svinesund Bridge
Monitoring the static and dynamic behavior of The New Svinesund Bridge R. Karoumi1 and P. Harryson2 1 The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden 2 The Swedish Transport Administration, Sweden ABSTRACT: The New Svinesund Bridge across the Ide Fjord between Norway and Sweden is a structurally complicated bridge. Due to the uniqueness of the design and the importance of the bridge, an extensive monitoring prog ram was i nitiated. The ins talled monitoring system continuously logs data (accelerations, displacements, strains, hanger forces, temperatures, wind speed and wind directio n) from 7 2 sensors and has gathered data since the casting of the first arch segment in the spring of 2003. As part of the monitoring programme, comprehensive static and dynamic load tests hav e al so been undertaken ju st b efore bridge opening. Thi s paper describes t he i nstrumentation used fo r monitoring the stru ctural behavior of the bri dge a nd presents inte resting r esults such a s measured str ains, di splacements and dynamic pr operties. Results are compared with theoretic values based on the FE-model of the bridge. 1 INTRODUCTION The New Svinesund Bridge is structurally complicated. The design of the bridge is a result of an international design contest. The bridge forms a part of the European highway, E6, which is the main route for all road traffic between the cities Gothenburg in Sweden and Oslo in Norway. Due to the uniqueness of design and the importance of the bri dge, an ex tensive monitoring program was in itiated.

A NEW LANGUAGE IS BORN PATRICK MCGLOIN Director General ViaNova IT AS Sandvika - Noruega www.vianovasystems.com All professions have developed their own language. A professional language is mainly used to ensure clear communication within the profession but also has been used to mystify and ensure status. Doctors, lawyers, scientist and yes Civil Engineers have developed a communication that is specific to their particular area. This worked well as long as the necessity to communicate was limited to the profession or the chosen few that needed to interact. Today this is no longer good enough. Our society has become more and more complex and the requirements to a design process have increased enormously. Many people and groups inside and outside the design teams have a right and need to understand what is happing and what the result will be. This applies to both large and small engineering projects. Without a language that is easily understood the risk increases that “bad” decisions are made, and also opens for design mistakes. A middle size-engineering project be it a new road, a new rail line or an urban renewal project is a long process including the assessment of many alternatives. It can also include environmental impact studies and changes or improvements to utilities. It always enjoys a high media profile both positive and negative but often negative with interest groups all trying to influence the result. The role of the design group is to present the various alternatives in a professional way giving the decision makers the best possible basis to chose the best solution.

Sammendrag: Twenty-eight samples of groundwater from bedrock boreholes in three Norwegian geological provinces have been taken and analysed for content of æRii, U and Th, together with a wide variety of minor and major species. Median values of 290 flq/1, 7.6 /jgJ\ and 0.02 /ig/1 were obtained for Rn, U and Th respectively, while maximum values were 8500 Bq/1, 170 /ig/1 and 2.2 jug/1. Commonly suggested drinking waters limits range from 8 - 1000 Bq/1 for radon and 14 to 160 jig/1 for uranium. Radioelement content was closely related to (ithology, the lowest concentrations being derived from the largely Caledonian rocks of the Trøndelag area, and the highest from the Precambrian Iddefjord Granite of South East Norway (11 boreholes) where median values of 2500 Bq/1, 15 j/g/1 and 0.38 pig/I respectively were obtained.

KJEØA the Island of Kjeøa Rose from the Ocean in 6500 BC
Krigshistorie Karl XII, Verdenskrig KJEØA The island of Kjeøa rose from the ocean in 6500 BC. The rising land connected the island to the main- land in 1250 BC. Today the highest hill reaches all of 59 metres. Due to its strategic location by the sail- ing lane into Halden, a provisional enclosed entrenchment was built in 1675 and later this was expanded into a number of earthwork fortifi- 7_Vue-d'Østre-Sponnevig_HA-Grosch_HhS.jpg cations in 1676-77. These served an outpost of Fredriksten Fortress and as the base of operations for forays into the county of Bohuslän in Sweden. The entrenchment at Kjeøa The entrenchment has a strategic location by the sailing lane into Halden. A provisional enclosed wooden entrenchment was built in 1675. The Danish Governor in Norway, Ulrik Fredrik Gyldenløve, built a number of entrenchments (1676-1677) of wood, earth and stone as an outpost for Fredriksten fortress and a base of operations for forays into the county of Bohuslän in Sweden. The entrenchment had a permanent commander under the command of the fort in Fredrikshald from 1689. During the period 1698 – 1701 the entrenchment was renovated with a stone wall encircling a massive tower with bombproof rooms on the lowest floor and a battery of canons on the top. The remnants of the powder magazine and the massive central tower still exist. Danish Kings Kristian 5 (1685) and Fredrik 4 (1704) visited the entrenchment. Problems for the enemy During the attack by Swedish King Charles 12 on Norway in 1716, the entrenchment effectively stopped Swedish ships from passing, and it caused problems for the enemy when a bridge was to be built across Svinesund.

O-96223 Miljøundersøkelser i forbindelse med en mulig utdyping av tersklene i Iddefjorden/Ringdalsfjorden. NIVA-3695-1997 Forord I forbindelse med en mulig utdyping av farleden inn til Halden ble NIVA i brev av 2. februar 1996 fra Havnevesenet i Halden bedt om å gi et pristilbud på undersøkelser for å kartlegge eventuelle miljømessige aspekter av en slik utdyping. NIVA utarbeidet et programforslag datert 11. mars 1996 for disse undersøkelsene. De foreslåtte undersøkelser tok først og fremst sikte på å fremskaffe bakgrunnsdata om forekomstene av miljøgifter i massene som var planlagt berørt av utdypingen, samt å beregne eventuelle endringer i de hydrofysiske forholdene i fjorden. I brev av 09/09-96 fra Kystverket fikk NIVA klarsignal for å starte undersøkelsene i henhold til nevnte programforslag. På bakgrunn av brev av 24/09-96 til Kystverket fra Länsstyrelsen i Göteborg og Bohus län, utarbeidet NIVA et forslag til biologiske undersøkelser (brev av 13/01-1997 til Kystverket). I brev av 13/03-97 fra Kystverket fikk NIVA klarsignal til også å gjennomføre de biologiske undersøkelsene. I prosjektperioden har Odd Tobiassen og Øyvind Johannessen vært kontaktmenn hos henholdsvis Kystverket og Havnevesenet i Halden. Leder for prosjektet har vært John Arthur Berge. Prosjektet har hatt følgende fagelementer (ansvarlig person er angitt) Miljøgifter i sediment (John Arthur Berge) Sedimentasjonsforsøk - praktisk gjennomføring (Eigil Iversen, Unni Efraimsen, Lise Tveiten) Sedimentasjonsforsøk - beregninger (Birger Bjerkeng) Beregning av vannutskiftning (Anders Stigebrandt/Ancylus) Beregning av oksygenforholdene (Birger Bjerkeng) Bløtbunnsundersøkelser (Brage Rygg) Hardbunnsundersøkelser (Mats Walday) Feltarbeidet i Iddefjorden for innsamling av sediment ble gjennomført med forskningsfartøyet "Nereus" fra Tjärnö Marinbiologiske Stasjon.

Future Nordic Concrete Architecture
Future Nordic Concrete Architecture Future Nordic Concrete Architecture Introduction Through the 20th century concrete has become the most used building material in the world. The usage of concrete has led to a new architecture which exploits the isotopic properties of concrete to generate new shapes. Despite the considerable amount of concrete used in architecture, the concrete is surprisingly little visible. Often concrete is only used as the material for the load‐bearing structures and afterwards hidden behind other facade‐materials. But concrete has a big unexploited potential in order to create beautiful shapes with spectacular textures on the surface. This potential has been explored through a number of buildings which can be characterized as concrete architecture. In this context concrete architecture is defined as: - Architecture where concrete is used as a dominating and visible material and/or - Architecture where concrete is expressed through the geometry. In the following, a number of projects characterized as Nordic concrete architecture is presented together with a description of the epochs of the history of concrete architecture to which they belong. Nordic Concrete Architecture In Scandinavia, conditions different from the most other places in the world prevail. The Nordic climate causes significant changing weather conditions during the 4 seasons. This results in significant fewer hours with sun. Add to this that the sun stands low in the sky – especially in the winter season. This condition has had great influence on the architecture combined with the cultural development in Scandinavia. The style of building has always been inspired of the neighbours in the south – but always with a local interpretation and the usage of local building materials.
