Original Abstract

This paper brings some information about a performed research project in which a testing methodology was used in case of development of a new type of temporary steel truss footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists. At first, the mentioned structure was designed according European standards using finite elements method software and then the point of research was to experimentally verify the actual behaviour of the footbridge in the event of real loading. For that purpose they were firstly performed tests on selected members and details using tension and compression static force. According the obtained results it was used cyclic force for some parts as well. Finally, there was performed a test of full-scale prototype as well. In this paper there are some particular results and illustrative photos of the research presented.
