Steel riveted bridges in Prague

This publication offers a comprehensive look at the history and present state of Prague's riveted bridges and footbridges, some of which, like the railway bridge under Vyšehrad or Čech Bridge, are an inseparable part of the capital city's skyline. The authors are lecturers from the Czech Technical University in Prague who have long been dedicated to this topic. For each of the bridges and footbridges – in addition to those mentioned above, these include the Bohdalec bridge, the bridge to Císařská louka, and the footbridges over Smíchov Station, Hostivař Station, Slavie, and Strašnice – you will find a detailed history from its construction through repairs to its current condition, original static calculations, and a rich collection of both archival and contemporary images. The publication is primarily intended for a professional audience and informed readers with a technical focus.
