The Qilihe Street Pedestrian Bridge in Nanjing, China

Abstract

<p>In order to build a complete pedestrian access area in the wetland park, a curved steel structure pedestrian bridge has been built approach to the lake, extending one span of beam from both ends of the second link of the bridge, which is connected with the landscape road in the park. Stairways are set up at the side span to provide an open and diverse viewing experience. Section of partial pentagon girder is provided with half of the glass bridge deck. The piers are consolidated on the inclined web of the box girder on the other side, which provide a stable support for the curved bridge. Assembled high strength screws are used at the pier bottom to anchor the pier to the pile cap to provide sufficient stiffness. The finite element models were established to calculate and analyze the overall structure and local structure of the bridge to prove its applicability.</p>
