Colin Woods Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Nice, I love bridges. Three pictures from me Montreal's Pont Jacques Cartier silhouetted against a firework display. The Pont du Quebec and the frozen St Lawrence. It was cold that day. Really cold. Eilean Donan in Scotland. I love this castle - its a horror when there are 10 coaches parked there and the ice-cream-wrapper droppers are out in force, but as soon as the crowds go this is a magical location. And, like much of the Scottish highlands, it loses none of its magic when the weather is poor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regis Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Congratulations Bryan, I don't have many bridges in my folio, I might give them more attention in the future. Here come my three: Bridge Bonaparte, over the Saone river in Lyon France, with the basilica of Notre dame of Fourviere in the background. Passerelle du Palais de Justice, Gateway Courthouse, Over the Saone River in Lyon France The Kintai Bridge built in 1673 over the Nishiki River, in the city of Iwakuni, in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Burdett Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 We were given a planning condition to build a footbridge to improve access when we gained permission to build our house. It took 4 years to establish a design for a 16m clear span that wasn't an eyesore. The main structural arch was made on its side in the adjacent field and lifted onto the prepared foundations. The arch is composed of around 200 pieces of timber just under 2m in length in offset rows, fixed with glue and screws. The underside of the finished bridge shows the screw and glue laminate The bridge mellows into its surroundings Any bridge nerds out there can have a look at the whole set I submitted of the construction process here: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/Screw-and-glue-laminated-bridge.html?sortBy=relevant 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the Mathematical Bridge at Queens in Cambridge no glues nails or bolts of any kind were used in its initial construction. Later however it was decided to take it apart to see how it was built. Bloody fools could not put it back together again without some assistance from mechanical fastenings mentioned. That is how I remember the story being told in an abbreviated version. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith's bridge has the same underneath. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
