Die Schorgasttalbrücke / the Schorgasttal Bridge

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) In bridge construction, steel-concrete composite structures offer an unparalleled combination of slenderness and robustness. For the Free State of Bavaria, the civil engineers BPR Dr. Schäpertöns Consult and SRP Schneider amp Partner, in collaboration with SBR Schultz-Brauns amp Reinhart Architekten, designed a 55 -meter-long bridge structure, comprising a gallery and a multi-span cable-stayed bridge with six radially arranged inwardly inclined pylons. The Schorgasttal Bridge is a remarkable structural and visual landmark that is at once distinctive and harmonious and transparent. This extensively illustrated monograph describes the ten-year development process of this special bridge structure from its conception to its completion, detailing the numerous structural considerations of its construction process.
