The Citadelle Bridge in Strasbourg: A Balancing Exercise
Citadelle Bridge, built for pedestrian and tramway traffic, is formed from a very slender steel box deck of 14 m width and 163 m length, supported by 30 locked coil rope cables and hung from a single semicircular arc. The arch of 180 m chord length diagonally spans the deck and is formed from a variable rhomboid steel box. The dimensions of the arch vary from 5 m width and 2.5 m depth at the crown to 2.5 m width and 5 m depth at the springings. The arch and abutments of the deck are founded on granular soil using deep foundations (barrettes) and one of the two abutments is equipped with a preloaded spring damper for seismic isolation. This paper presents the context of the project, the conceptual design process, a general description of the structure and its foundations and the final choices made for the methods chosen to construct the bridge.
