Design of an Experimental Tensegrity Pedestrian Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the design of an experimental tensegrity pedestrian bridge. The structure is designed as a permanent three-span bridge with spans of 105 m. The bridge has two entrance ramps, three ground supports and one water support. The main structure of the bridge is designed as a light transparent structure based on the tensegrity principle using membranes.
