125 Project information Short project description Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 - Category 2: Civil Structures Category 2: Civil Structures 2 The new Harchies bridge, spanning 70 m, replaces the existing prestressed concrete bridge on the NimyBlaton Canal. The replacement is required because of the corroded strands of the latter. The new structure is a bowstring bridge with integral abutments: the thermal expansions are compensated by soil-abutment interaction. This bridge typology is therefore jointless. The arch has a trapezoidal shaped cross section, with integrated lighting features.
