- Abstract
The steel‐superstructure of High‐Moselle‐Crossing – consequent and holistic realisation of construction The High‐Moselle‐Bridge is one of the major bridge construction projects in Germany of the past decades. With a height of 158 m, an overall length of 1 704 m and a max. single support span of 210 m, the High‐Moselle‐Bridge partially leaves common dimensions of steel bridge building. Due to in incremental launching method built superstructure with the single support span of 210 m, a free cantilever was performed that was never achieved in Europe at that point. The High‐Moselle‐Bridge furthermore is the highest steelbridge in Germany, the extremely high pillars, with its large slenderness, posed to be problematic with incremental launching. It could be seen, that technical solutions for constructions, which exceed in relevant parameters common dimensions, often show a lack of compatibility with conventional construction‐ and dimensioning‐principles. With an apparent phenomenological analogy of two compared constructions, showing obvious changes in scale, an unmonitored transfer of empirical values regarding construction or assembly is not possible, instead rational custom solutions have to be applied. Caused by the dimensions of the High‐Moselle‐Bridge, production and construction represented a major challenge for everyone involved, resulting in numerous innovative developments and solutions for on‐site construction.
