| Abstract: |
The transfer of the canalMittellandkanalacross the river Elbe was the core of project 17 in the course of the transport project Deutsche Einheit (Reunification). The structure consists of two parts: the foreshore bridge with two eight-field continuous beams and the main bridge with one three-field continuous beam. The total length is 918 m with a maximum span of 106 m and a total weight of 24 900 t of steel. The shipping trough is 34 m wide and the overall height of the superstructure is 8.15 m. The solution of a waterway junction had to compete with the idea of a barrage in the river Elbe but was selected because of economical reasons and a minor intervention in the area of unspoiled nature. |
