This paper focuses on the design development of a ground-breaking pedestrian bridge project in Göteborg, Sweden. Building on the city's rich automotive and ship-building industrial heritage; Ramboll's proposal is for an ultra-lightweight FRP structure, thought to be the first of its kind in Sweden. At less than ¼ the weight of an equivalent structure in steel, the FRP structure requires reduced foundations, imposes minimal loading on the fragile historic walls, and will greatly ease buildability. The use of advanced composites allows this to be achieved with a graceful, organic monocoque form that appears to float above the waterline. |
