LaPendenta Suspension Bridge | Disentis, Switzerland
Modern LaPendenta suspension bridge with six main suspension cables | Engineering design using RFEM confirms high stability
The bridge has six main cables with a diameter of 45 mm that run below the walking surface and at handrail height. Guys minimize vibrations and increase stability. Engineers performed extensive load testing and compared actual measurements with theoretical calculations using RFEM. The delicate steel cable and cable mesh structure blends harmoniously into the Alpine landscape. | Photo: © Christian Loretz.
