- W604271687 abstract "This article reports on London's Millennium Footbridge across the River Thames, just before its completion. At the time of writing, the contractors had began to position deck sections for this unusual bridge, which is somewhere between a suspension bridge and a permanent high-wire balancing act. When the bridge is complete, each end of its deck will hang from suspension cables, but the mid section will rest on struts, which will stand on the cables as they descend below deck level. In February 2000, one cable was pulled across the Thames over temporary A-frames mounted on the bridge piers. This was followed by other cables, using pulleys to haul into position first the suspension cables, then the deck sections. Eight cables were laid across the piers in this way, with four supported on each arm of the forked pier. The 16m long, 20t deck sections are made of aluminium, and supported on horizontal bent-beam 'legs' which attach to the cables with clamps. The deck assembly sequence is designed to balance loads on the bridge piers, with elements built on each end of the mid-section. As the deck is built up, its weight and its interaction with the cables will pull the bridge into shape. One important feature of the bridge is that it will give pedestrians crossing it unobstructed views of the Thames." @default.
