As a cost-effective alternative to the originally designed steel bridge, a pedestrian bridge made of triangular timber trusses was developed. Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner (LAP) designed the structure in cooperation with the Bavarian glulam manufacturer HESS TIMBER, with LAP also performing the structural analysis. Fast + Epp Fast + Epp GmbH used the RFEM program to check the internal forces and design the timber structure. The design combines an innovative timber structure with sophisticated bridge architecture, which also integrates project elements from Georgia. Bridge model in RFEM (© Fast + Epp GmbH).
