Abstract |
A bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. The required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline. The obstacle to be crossed may be a river, a road, railway or a valley. In other words, bridge is a structure for carrying the road traffic or other moving loads over a depression or obstruction such as channel, road or railway. Also a footbridge or a pedestrian bridge is a bridge designed for pedestrians and in some cases cyclist, animal traffic and horse riders, rather than vehicular traffic. Footbridges can also be built in the same ways as road or rail bridges. Footbridges are small, but important, because they are usually presented in townscape. The appearance of footbridges, and indeed of any other bridges, in a town, is a major concern for designers. Increasing strength of new structural materials and longer spans of new footbridges, accompanied with aesthetic requirements for greater slenderness, are resulting in livelier footbridge structures. In the past few years this issue attracted great public attention. |
