It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! 公仔箱論壇: J J! W: s! B' k8 r, F0 ~
Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded( b+ [( k2 r3 d9 q4 B: n# f

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany( ~+ p" X+ x( V b, \. n9 {+ R
The Magdeburg Water Bridge is a navigable aqueduct in Germany that connects the Elbe-Havel Canal to the Mittelland Canal and allows ships to cross over the Elbe River. At 918 meters, it is the longest navigable aqueduct in the world.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。9 @5 J* ^, Z6 Y# H( Z. d' Z
The Elbe-Havel and Mittelland canals had previously met near Magdeburg but on opposite sides of the Elbe Ships moving between the two had to make a 12-kilometer detour, descending from the Mittelland Canal through the Rothensee boat lift into the Elbe, then sailing downstream on the river, before entering the Elbe-Havel Canal through Niegripp lock. Low water levels in the Elbe often prevented fully laden canal barges from making this crossing, requiring time-consuming off-loading of cargo.
