The cable-stayed footbridge in Prague - Radotín

The original, seriously damaged concrete footbridge across the Berounka River, which was in a state of disrepair, was replaced by an asymmetric 110 m long steel-cable-stayed footbridge using the adapted existing substructure. The 24 m high pylon consists of one tube asymmetrically pinned to the upper chord of the triangular lattice structure above the bearing sliding on the pillar. Another interesting solution is the termination of the ropes by sockets with a threaded bar and tendon, with a turnbuckle and a socket with pin which enable their convenient adjustment. The composite deck of the footbridge is a suitable alternative to timber or steel orthotropic one. © 2023 Ernst & Sohn GmbH.
