| Abstract: |
The São Vicente Suspension Bridge was built in 1914 as part of the plan for the sanitation of the São Vicente city. The bridge is listed by Brazilian historical heritage since 1982. In 2012, the conditions of the main structural elements were critical and needed recovery or substitution. The structural design considered the complete recovery of the steel main deck connected by rivets, the calculation of the new suspension system that would replace the existing one using temporary cables, towers and anchorage blocks. The bridge was reopened to the public in October of 2015. |
