Description:

The characteristic of this timber bridge is an integrated timber moisture measurement. At various points in the cross section of the block beam, sensors were installed to serve for a long period of time for humidity and dimension control. This monitorig is used mainly for quality assuarance and can provide us information about the wood as a material in bridge construction.

The bridge itself is characterized by an economic and aesthetic design. Trough the cables that are connected to the pylon and main beam, a very slim structure is created. A carefully designed pylon supports the lightness of the structure and itself forms a significant appearance.
