| Abstract: |
This paper presents the design of two small footbridges in two different sites and economical contexts. The first footbridge, located in an urban site, is an arch made of Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). The design technique combines the use of a contemporary material with the reappropriation of ancestral methods. The second footbridge, located in a remarkable natural site and made of weathering steel, presents both a tie-arch and truss structure. This minimalist conception leads to a “low- cost” structure. |
