Reconstruction of the Historic Bridge Located in Portz Insel

Abstract:

The paper presents a structural survey of the arch bridge from the 17^th century located in Portz Insel near Mikulov. The purpose of the research was to analyze service life and reliability of the bridge structure including long-term functional durability. There were performed probes in order to search for the original frame foundation and defining a shape of particular arches buried in the ground for decades. The probes also helped to check up the structure of the bridge deck in several places. Currently, throughout 2019 and 2020, the bridge will undergo major reconstruction work in the context of the project „Mikulov, Portz Insel – restructuralisation of the historic countryside“.
