Abstract

Among “our” foot bridge projects, we selected the following ones and illustrated their structural and architectural features along with the solution proposed for relevant problems; competition designs are also included to give a wide spectrum of the general, interesting aspects of the theme: 1) San Giuliano bridge in Venezia Mestre 2) Bridge over the East Ring Highway in Agrate - Italy 3) Bridge in Nicosia - Cyprus 4) Bridge in Formia - Italy 5) Competition for a bridge over Po river in Torino - Italy 6) Competition for a bridge over Brembo river in San Pellegrino - Italy 7) Competition for a bridge over Cidacos river in Calahorra - Spain Several schemes, materials, and details were exploited to best fit the site conditions, like continuous girders and frames, bow strings, cable stayed structures; the materials range from steel, concrete and steel-concrete composites. Ad hoc designed devices were used for the dynamic control of vibrations and for longitudinal releasing of continuous girders. Erection methods include concrete prefabrication and segmental construction.,
