| Abstract: |
This paper describes the history of a heritage bridge in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and the efforts made for the relocation of this bridge. Investigations were made to determine the structural integrity of the original elements and structural assessments were done to find the remaining capacity for future use. The Ultimate Limit State for the original elements was investigated. Lateral stability was checked and based on the historical use and the required future use the fatigue loads were calculated for the different cross sections and for critical connections. These calculations showed that a required residual service life of 30 years after relocation was technically possible for this bridge. Some pros and cons for the re-use of this bridge are also discussed. |
