General Information

Figure 1 shows a pedestrian truss bridge.

Built-Up Section

Figure 2 shows a side view of a truss sector.

The upper and bottom chords consist of built-up sections; the diagonals, of square hollow profiles. An upper chord viewed from the front and the side are shown in figures 3 and 4, respectively.

The built-up section consists of two side-by-side placed H-profiles, an upper plate, and a bottom plate. Upper-and bottom plates are connected to the H-profiles by welding.

Bridge Drainage

Figure 5 shows a main span sector.

Drainage pipes 1 and 2 are embedded in the abutment cap and abutment. Figure 6 shows the abutment cap, while figure 7 shows the bottom region of the abutment.

The thickness of the abutment t ≅ 50 cm, and the diameter of a drainage pipe ≅ 10 cm; the outlets are toward the street side.
