Vassås Bridge
The Vassås Bridge ( no, Vassås bru) is a cantilever bridge that crosses the Osan fjord in the municipality of Bindal in Nordland county, Norway. The bridge is part of Norwegian County Road 1 and it connects the villages of Vassås and Terråk. The Vassås Bridge was opened in 1980 and is long with a main span of .

Bindal
Bindal is a municipality in the Helgeland region in the extreme southwest part of Nordland county, Norway. The administrative centre is the village of Terråk. Other villages include Bindalseidet, Holm, Vassås, Horsfjord and Åbygda. The municipality is the 81st largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Bindal is the 304th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,406. The municipality's population density is and its population has decreased by 10% over the previous 10-year period. General information left, Hildringen in Bindal (1852). In 1838, the parish of Bindal was split into two municipalities (see formannskapsdistrikt law) because the parish included land in both the counties of Nord-Trøndelag and Nordland. The new law required that municipalities be located only in one county, so the parish was divided into two municipalities: Nordbindalen and Sørbindalen. In 1852, the county border was moved south to its current position and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cantilever Bridge
A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers). For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beam (structure), beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete. The steel truss cantilever bridge was a major engineering breakthrough when first put into practice, as it can span distances of over , and can be more easily constructed at difficult crossings by virtue of using little or no falsework. Origins Civil engineer, Engineers in the 19th century understood that a bridge that was continuous across multiple supports would distribute the loads among them. This would result in lower stresses in the girder or truss and meant that longer spans could be built. Several 19th-century engineers patented continuous bridges with hinge points mid-span. The use of a hing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
