Variable Depth Footbridges

Over the last 3 years, Mario Guisasola has drawn up the Project for various variable depth footbridges, with a series of basic characteristics:

• Span runs of between 44 and 82 m.
• Elastically restrained structures, on one or more abutments.
• A significant amount of the footbridges are located on rivers where the hydraulic clearance must not be affected, which required structures with limited depth under the paving.
• These are simple structures, with a great deal of attention to detail and the combination of materials to achieve a functional, resistant, economic end of product which fits in well with the environment where the structures are being built.
• For all the footbridges steel is used for the structure, wood for the paving, and stainless steel for the railings.
• The envisaged bridges explore the formal possibilities of the beam, with the work expressed by means of the depth variations adapted to the stresses.
