| Abstract: |
The bridge spans the river Rhine and connects the state capitals of Mainz and Wiesbaden, Germany. The existing bridge was at its turning point from a static to a production-oriented engineering structure. The paper gives an insight into the deficits and damage of the existing bridge and explains the consequential requirement for a new design. |
