Abstract

In 2009 as a result of a sudden flood in Polish Carpathian mountains a small bridge shortening significantly the way and situated over the torrent river at the subdivisions was destroyed. Local authorities were forced to hold a tender for the new foot and road bridge which was supposed to be as well cheap and fast to build and as durable and easy to use. Besides foot crossing (4 kN/m) it was supposed to enable driving vehicles up to 15 tones when the road was 2.75 m wide. Moreover, because of local hydrological and ecological conditions it was supposed to have the span at least 70 m long matching the mountainous landscape.
