Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) In bridge construction, steel-concrete composite structures offer an unparalleled combination of slenderness and robustness. For the Free State of Bavaria, the civil engineers BPR Dr. Schäpertöns Consult and SRP Schneider & Partner, in collaboration with SBR Schultz-Brauns & Reinhart Architekten, designed a 550-meter-long bridge structure, comprising a gallery and a multi-span cable-stayed bridge with six radially arranged inwardly inclined pylons. The Schorgasttal Bridge is a remarkable structural and visual landmark that is at once distinctive and harmonious and transparent. This extensively illustrated monograph describes the ten-year development process of this special bridge structure from its conception to its completion, detailing the numerous structural considerations of its construction process.
