STARKING

​

For our bridge we have multiplied identical modules to create an arch. Each module is composed of sloped beams 12 cm high that lean on the horizontal beams of height 9 cm, creating an angle between separate parts. Each module leans on the 1/3 of the other’s length. The bearing load is transferred along the structure to the supports. The spacing elements are placed between the modules to minimize deflection. The joints are organized in a way as to prevent horizontal sliding of the beams and to give the structure a stability.
