Construction of bridges

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] December 27, 2018 14:00

"Heisei last ...", which I often hear at this time, is also a large-scale construction of the last bridge in Heisei. The construction of the Toyomi Bridge, which spans the Nihonbashi River between Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge. The repair and renovation of these three bridges at the same time is a sight that can only be seen now.

Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge are contrasting in the structure of the bridge, and their characteristics can be seen even if they are surrounded by temporary scaffolds.

The photo shows from Chuo-ohashi Bridge, but from Sumida River Ohashi, you can see both Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge.

The Sky Tree is the world's tallest radio tower, but it incorporates traditional Japanese techniques and crafts.

 

The architectural structure is an oscillation structure like five-storied pagoda, with a core pillar at the center of the building, and the surrounding area is joined by a triangular truss structure. It is said that this triangle does not need to be so fine in terms of strength, but it seems that the design is conscious of Edo Kiriko.

In addition, the exterior is not asymmetric centered on the pillar, but asymmetric with the motif of a Japanese sword.

 

 

By the way, the construction of Toyomi Bridge repairs, reinforces and raises the bridge. It is scheduled from the beginning of this year to the end of May next year, so it is a large scale that spans the next era from Heisei.
