ABSTRACT

During the period from January 2005 to June 2007, the first part of a new container harbor for Oslo City was constructed. The 650 m water front consists of an open concrete deck on top of solid columns consisting of driven steel tubes filled with concrete. The major part of the 22,900 m2 concrete deck is a slab type of deck with deep girders. For this part, a large number of slab elements were prefabricated and placed between the in situ cast concrete girders as formwork for the following concreting of the deck. Another part of the deck is a flat slab deck constructed on top of the deck of an old existing concrete harbor structure, which was used as formwork for the production of the new concrete deck.
