Kalix Bridge Digital Twin – structural loads from future extreme climate events

This video is related to an ongoing project for which a structural digital twin of the Kalix bridge in Sweden is being developed and implemented.

Environmental loads, such as wind and river flow, play an essential role in the structural design and structural assessment of long-span bridges. Climate change and extreme climatic events are threats to the reliability and safety of the transport network. This has led to a growing demand for digital twin models to investigate the resilience of bridges under extreme climate conditions. Kalix bridge, constructed over the Kalix river in Sweden in 1956, is used as a testbed in this context.
