A Covered Double Decker Pedestrian Bridge in Parma

摘要

The new Europa Bridge, currently under construction in Parma, Italy, is composed of two distinct structures: a road bridge and a covered pedestrian bridge. The road bridge is a three spans continuous bridge, with a mixed steel-concrete structure. The covered pedestrian bridge encloses a two level hall, which shall be used as an exhibition centre. This paper presents the main concepts at the basis of the structural lay-out.
