Abstract:

In the border triangle in the southwest of Germany, a new pedestrian bridge across the river Rhine near Basel was opened by March, 2007. The bridge will improve the infrastructure of the region and cross-community relations.

The paper deals with following items:

  • Basic design concepts and constructional implementation of a great number of complex construction details
  • Extracts of load cases “wind” and “traffic on half span” considering geometric nonlinearity, camber and construction stages
  • Assembly: The entire main bridge with a length of 248 m was pre-assembled at a preconstruction site a few 100 m to the north of the final location, then shifted on pontoons and floated.
Keywords:
wind loads construction stages geometric nonlinearity asymmetric arch fixed rotation fixed / free longitudinal displacements traffic on half span camber
