The Ponte Emílio Baumgart , originally called Ponte Herval , mostly referred to internationally as a bridge over the Rio do Peixe ( Ponte sobre o Rio do Peixe ), was a road bridge over the Rio do Peixe between the towns of Herval d'Oeste and Joaçaba in the state of Santa Catarina in Brazil .
After their planners Emílio Henrique Baumgart (born May 25, 1889 in Blumenau , † 9 October 1943 in Rio de Janeiro ) named and in 1930 built bridge was the first in cantilever built reinforced concrete bridge in the world.
It stood a few meters below today's pedestrian bridge. In June 1983 it was washed away to the foundations by an extreme flood.
description
The 121.9 m long bridge had three fields of 26.8 + 68.3 + 26.8 m. It had a 7.5 m wide carriageway with 1 m wide sidewalks on both sides.
The reinforced concrete beams on the outside had a variable cross-section of 1 × 4 m on the pillars, which decreased in a curved line to 0.30 × 1.7 m. Under the vehicle carrier were smaller longitudinal members at a distance of 4.15 m. Cross beams were arranged under the entire bridge every 3.09 m.
The outer fields were concreted on normal falsework. Likewise, the first 9.3 m of the middle field were built on both sides on fan-like cantilevered scaffolding. The remaining span was closed on both sides in 1.55 m long concreting sections.
