Wooden footbridge in Trogir
Abstract
The solution used for the wooden footbridge across the Foša Canal in Trogir, specifically aimed at blending this structure with its urban surroundings, is presented. The mountable-dismountable superstructure of this bridge is formed of two double-hinged wooden arches, 25 m in span. The arches are linked with cross beams, above which a two layered cross-boarded surface was realized. All superstructure segments are made of massive oak-wood. Bolts and stud connectors were used as connecting elements. Vessels up to 4.5 m in height can pass under the bridge.
