Netzwerkbogenbrücken der ÖBB über den Zentralverschiebebahnhof Wien-Kledering, Österreich - Statisch konstruktive Planung der Brücken

Network arch bridges for the ÖBB over the central marshalling yard at Vienna-Kledering, Austria - Structural and constructional design of the bridges.

To connect Vienna International Airport at Schwechat with the new Main Railway Station a chain of bridges must be erected over the central marshalling yard. The centrepiece of this chain of bridges is formed by two network arch bridges with spans of 112.50 m and 88.50 m.
This article examines the structural and constructional aspects of the two steel network arch bridges, in particular the form of the arch and the hangers. In combination with high proportion of live load made up by the railway the method of construction chosen represents a highly economical solution.
