Self-Anchored Pedestrian Bridge Unites San Diego s Urban Core

摘要

Designed by T.Y. Lin International, the Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge in San Diego, Calif., features a 131-ft-tall pylon and a curved deck that is suspended along the inside edge. The pylon is inclined at a 60-degree angle and leans over the deck to support the single pair of suspension cables. Suspenders-34 in all-attach to the main cable to support the 20-ft-wide deck from the top of the railing on one side only.One of the unique design features of the bridge is the connection between the suspenders and the main suspension cable.
