Abstrait: |
While the design creates a visual lightness, the 2720 ton, 117m vertical lift span of the Jacques Chaban-Delmas Bridge in Bordeaux France is designed to carry four lanes of traffic, two sweeping pedestrian and bicycle paths and two light rail tracks. The unique design build process successfully drove a fierce competition resulting in several dramatic designs. This paper will focus on some of the innovative techniques that would not be permitted by North American design standards. |
