| Abstract: |
Enshi Grand Canyon is one of China's remarkable sites. A one-kilometre-long funicular, carried by steel viaducts on half of the line and a slab track on the other half, will soon be inaugurated to transport visitors with a nearly carbon-free transportation system. These metal structures have unique designs, dictated by the strong constraints of the funicular system and the constraints of accessibility, constructability and transport on this mountainous site. This article presents the main characteristics of these works. |
