As a part of expansion works of the Elbe‑Havel Canal, the Güsen road bridge was replaced by a new bridge at the same place. The new construction was necessary because the clear width and height of the existing bridge were no longer sufficient for the waterway expansion.
In order to maintain an important road connection over the canal, the construction of a temporary bridge was required.
The company grbv Ingenieure im Bauwesen GmbH & Co. KG from Hanover, Germany, was responsible for planning and structural design of the new and the temporary bridge as well as for the demolition of the existing bridge. For the structural calculations, the RSTAB software was used.
The engineers from grbv used the RSMOVE add‑on module to generate moving loads in RSTAB. Also, a lot of cross‑sections were created in the cross‑section properties software SHAPE‑THIN.
