137 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 2: Civil Structures Category 2: Civil Structures 2 Short description │Wooden Footbridge with a Cycling Track The wooden footbridge with a cycling track is a future project in terms of offering safety to cyclists and pedestrians as the cycling track on the other side of the river is currently accessed with difficultly from the main road. The wooden bridge will be 53.6 m long and 3.40 m wide with a curved vertical course. The vertical radius of curvature is ~181.6 m in the middle span. Both ends of the bridge are linear and ~12.35 m in length. The highest point of the walking surface is ~1.56 m higher than the surface at the beginning or end. The bearing wooden structure sits on two end foundation blocks and two middle supporting pillars with pile foundations. The complete wooden structure is connected with steel plate sockets and bolts. Many connections are strengthened with steel plate ribs. The structure stability is based on diagonal steel bracings which are anchored to concrete supports. Both fences are part of the bearing structure. From the aesthetic point of view, the complete fence is decorated with shingle plates.
