ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The cable-stayed bridges are competitive for the spans over 100 m to other bridge technologies due to small depth of superstructure and diversity, which enable their individual forming and matching to the given natural or urban environment. The cable-stayed bridge over the Labe River at Nymburk is the first bridge in the Czech Republic of extradosed type with low slender pylons and two lateral suspension planes of stays. The main span of 132 m has 52 m long composite part in the middle, which was floated on barges and then lifted into final position. The technology of construction was very straightforward, however from the beginning a great attention was given to appearance and harmony between the bridge and its location.
