A tensioning-belt-cable-bridge above the Kaponiggraben in Austria – design and realization

Abstract

<p>Future-oriented infrastructure buildings not only fulfill their function, but also enter into a special symbiosis with the environment. From the user's point of view, these particular structures are harmoniously integrated into the respective location. This special attention in the design of infrastructure structures is characterized by the interaction of nature, ethics and aesthetics and is to be applied in the future as the NEA-principle for further engineering tasks. The projected ensemble with the brand name<i>THE BOND®</i>was submitted for the first time as an official approval project in Austria and is about to be realized. The high technological and aesthetic quality and identity of the ensemble with the location promises a high marketing value, which means that the bridge, which was originally designed as a purely engineering task, offers much more possibilities than just the connection of two places and is a trend-setting design for further tasks for engineers.</p>
