IKB ?

(OP)
Seeing the thread about Inca suspension bridges ......

What are your thoughts about Isambard Kingdom Brunel ? Famous for many engineering feats including the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol, UK.

RE: IKB ?





ArrĂ¡bida Bridge over Douro River in Porto. Inaugurated on June, 22, 1963.

Concrete open spandrel deck arch bridge. Total lenght: 493 m, arch span: 270 m, arch rise: 52 m, deck height: 70 m

Designed by Portuguese bridge guru, Edgar Cardoso (1913-2000), the ArrĂ¡bida bridge held, for quite some time, the



world record for the "Longest Concrete Single Arch Bridge". It is still the 9th world's longest concrete arch bridge.

RE: IKB ?
