Steel Construction 02/15
Cover Story: The new pedestrian bridge crosses the Havel river in an S-curve. Angled steel arches support the superstructure at the longest span length located over the river and secondary channel. The hangers are not located as usual along the outer edge of the circular edge beam, but rather on radial cantilevers that almost reach the arch planes. Thus the resultant of the hangers is angled only slightly away from the angled arch plane, leading to reduced bending stresses within the arch. The arches terminate at the height of the superstructure and thereby allow for the horizontal thrust to be short circuited via a tieback. Within the range of the arches, the deck of the Rathenow Bridge widens to allow for seating space. (© BUGA Zweckverband)
