| Abstract: |
The Rendsburg High Bridge – a railway viaduct across the Kiel canal – is a more than 100 year old technical monument. Nevertheless, it is used under full traffic load – as a bottleneck for the traffic to Scandinavia. The bridge, a riveted steel construction, is currently being extensively retrofitted. The measures comprise, beside the renewal of the corrosion protection and the repair of defects, a strengthening for today’s railway traffic loads. Thus, the bridge can be preserved for the long run – also an important contribution to the building culture. |
