Tips from the Community
In St. Jakob im Kärntner Rosental, the new Paulifurtbrücke bridge over the Rosenbach was realized as a trough-shaped frame bridge. For the bridge with a span of 32 m, the crossbeams were made of prestressed UHPC elements. The use of thin-walled, yet highly robust UHPC components subsumed the necessity of geometric stiffness in the structural design. Thus, special emphasis could be placed on the aesthetic aspects.

Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origin of which can be traced far back into bygone times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be simply replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse – natural or artificially created – in order, for example, to grind grain into flour or press oil from fruits. Here, however, we encounter a rather playful variant, as the movement generated by the water power is used to drive figures or sculptures.
