Footbridge Riviera in Brno

<p>The footbridge was built in the city of Brno, Czechia, and connects the Riviera outdoor swimming pool and the adjacent Brno exhibition grounds, where the main obstacle is the newly built large city ring road. The total length of the footbridge is 284 m, including access walkways. The superstructure consists of a prestressed concrete spine beam with a height of 0.9 - 1.7 m, which is supplemented by transverse ribs as a bearing element in the transverse direction. The longest span is situated across the city ring road with 47 m length. The width of the superstructure is 6.7 m and the footbridge thus creates a generous connection with the main Brno recreational area. The superstructure is supported on central slender piers with a one-way concrete hinge that resists all torsion actions.</p>
