Description
:
This majestic railway bridge over the river Rhine in Switzerland was built in the years 1895-1897. A number of arches with piers reaching up to 50 meter above ground made of masonry makes up the side-spans. The midspan is a riveted steel truss with span 50 meter and height 9 meter, which is the structure of concern in this case study. The bridge has a significant heritage value.
