Construction Management of Randselva bridge - Assessment between two construction methods: cantilever concrete and steel-box method.

Abstract

Purpose of the master thesis is to perform a construction and cost analysis of two proposed solutions for the Randselva bridge on E16 roadway. Project data is based on information data given from Statens Vegvesen , Trondheim along with MultiConsult construction company. Information data consist of all aspects of construction: from geotechnical surveys and geological inspections to final construction solutions with drawings, stated in further tables of contents. Construction analysis will be performed as static system analysis with given cross-sections and materials, without designing the sections. Optimization process will be performed in order to update the further cost estimates. All calculation data will be processed and analyzed in software SoFiSTiK AG . Profitability and cost analysis will consist of uncertainty analysis in the Projection method along with the Successive calculation method . Both methods are popular in project management and financial analysis of construction enterprises and are based on risk factors and uncertainties values used in cost estimation. The analysis will be performed for both concrete and steel solutions. Results will be presented in tables and charts. All data will be then analyzed in the computer program ANSLAG provided by the supervisor and NTNU University. Computer analysis will conclude in final uncertainty projection and cost estimations for both construction solutions. Report will conclude then on results comparison with adequate comments.
