Abstract

The design of the La-Ferte-Steg footbridge at Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen is the result of an interdisciplinary bridge competition. The asymmetric bridge links a slope on one side and a flat meadow on the other. It features a curve in the longitudinal direction with a 6% sloped T-beam superstructure. The circular form allows support of the girder with six slender steel columns at mid axis. The slab dimensions of the bridge are kept constant to achieve an overall unity. The transition from the T-beam girder to the shear wall is continuous. Details are given of the bridge design, the columns, durability and robustness, handrail, protecting flashing and staircase tower. Details are given of the owner, designer, contractor, costs and service date.
