Due to the skew bearing and the limited height for construction underneath a trough bridge with two double-walled steel girders as main beams is suggested. According to the jury, the \u2018squaring of the circle\u2019 is achieved by the drafter with the rather unconventional fully clamped support of the simple beam in the foundation soil of the southern abutment. Thanks to this arrangement the beam\u2019s height can be reduced. Above the deck only 1.35 m of the supporting structure remains visible, which can easily be overpeered by pedestrians and cyclists. The abutment at the northern shore is monolithically connected to the main beams as well, creating an integral structure and thus giving the project its name. The abutments are well-grounded with piles and run parallel to the course of the river. The different designs of the abutments result in a rigid clamping of the main beams at the southern end and an elastic clamping at the northern bank. This concept of support and the cross-section\u2019s design, where the whole height of the visible bridge is statically active, allows an extraordinary slenderness of 1:29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the city of Laufen extensive flood protection measures for the river Birs are planned for the upcoming years.
