As a cost-effective alternative to the originally planned steel bridge, a pedestrian bridge made of timber truss girders with a triangular cross-section was developed. The firm Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner (LAP) planned the structure in cooperation with the Bavarian glulam manufacturer HESS TIMBER, with the structural analysis also carried out by LAP. For controlling the internal forces and designing the timber structure, Fast + Epp Fast + Epp GmbH used RFEM. The design combines innovative timber construction with sophisticated bridge architecture, which also integrates project elements from Georgia. Bridge model in RFEM (© Fast + Epp GmbH).
