Wooden bridge in long-term test

Thursday, 13 October 2011

Älvsbacka BridgeThe Älvsbacka Bridge in Sweden, which is equipped with m.connect tension rods, was officially opened recently. At 130m it is the longest wooden bridge in Scandinavia. A special feature is that the long-term performance of the bridge is to be monitored. To this end some of the tension rod systems, which are up to 70m long, have been fitted with self-developed strain gauge connecting sleeves.
