Šternberk Footbridge

This is a simple timber footbridge with steel reinforcing components and a bottom deck between parapet beams over a span of 14.095m and a width of 2.0m. The footbridge is supported by two primary glulam arches with a steel railing. The arches are connected by steel crossbeams to the wind bracing constructed out of thin-walled steel sections. The steel crossbeams support the longitudinal timber beams carrying the oak-tree deck. The primary beams are provided with polygon openings that are covered by steel grating from the exterior. The footbridge is used by pedestrians only. It was delivered partly-preassembled to the site.
