Structure
An amount of 2,118.8 ft3 of glued-laminated spruce timber was needed for the deck to produce a block-glued beam with width x depth dimensions of 110 x 17.3 in.
The beam is cambered by approximately 15.7 inches and subdivided into three spans with single span lengths of 52.4 ft (2x) and 45.9 ft (1x). The joints are designed as full joints and are provided with transverse beams consisting of welded H‑sections (h/b/t/s = 15.7/19.6/1.5/1.5 inches) of steel grade S 355, in the chambers of which the block beams were factory fitted accurately.
The ends of both transverse beams are stayed with cables (d = 1.5 inches) attached to the pylon head. The superstructure is retained on the river banks by two tieback anchor cables of d = 2.3 inches, which are anchored by the substructures in the ground. The maximum cable force in the ultimate limit state is about 382.18 kip (design load). A total of around 426.5 ft of full locked coil ropes was used for the guying and tieback anchoring.
The A‑shaped pylon is about 49 ft high and consists of steel tubes (13 31/32 x 0 63/64 inches) of steel grade S 355. It is factory‑made and completely welded, except for two bolted splice joints. The maximum axial force in the circular section is approximately 404.66 kip in the ultimate limit state.
