Abstract
ABSTRACTKistefos Museum is a museum bridge of about 80 meters in length spanning approximately 60 meters over a river situated inside a hilly forest in Norway. The museum is designed by BIG and Ramboll has, as the main advisor for the turnkey contractor, designed the steel structure which twists 90° over a length of 24 meters mid span.During the design process, state‐of‐the‐art software has been used for the collaboration between the architect, the engineers and the contractors (Rhinoceros, Grasshopper and Tekla Structures). The Engineering part has included software for seismic analysis, vibrational analysis, and effects of composite floor structures (Robot Structural Analysis), plus software for designing steel connections (IDEA Statica).The steel bridge itself has been an engineering challenge, but the erection of the bridge proved no less of a challenge, as it involved a big interim bridge to ensure the stability of the museum while the steel components and façades were mounted.
