| Abstract: |
The hundreds of bridges, built in the centuries and most of them still service, make Venice, probably, the city in the world with the higher presence of these structures. And surely the city in which the culture of bridges is closely linked to the culture of the town. It’s interesting to investigate on the engineering aspects of the Venetian Bridges and on the problems that the Venetian artisans, artists, engineers and architects have encountered and overcame during the centuries of bridge engineering in Venice. This paper, together with its companion paper on the Scalzi bridge, wants to illustrate the engineering and structural aspects of one of the most interesting wooden structure built in the XXth century in Venice: the Accademia Bridge. |
