| Abstract: |
The Franzensbrücke across the Danube Canal is a prominent bridge close to the city centre of Vienna. Built in the 1940s, it requires rehabilitation after 70 years of use. The structure shall be refurbished and upgraded to withstand traffic loads of modern EN standards in future. The urban environment, the strategic importance in Vienna’s traffic situation as well as the historic materials and detailing are boundary conditions, which result in a challenging technical and logistic task. |
