Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany What a feat! Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long. Now this is engineering! tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb: p& h. N6 e3 X; y

Question:
( X0 [, N5 u y6 h0 E' z. a; P- j% g: [1 o; L
Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic,公仔箱論壇1 `6 l% U) a! {6 W4 x f5 U2 t1 g
Or just the weight of the water?

It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water!
O0 i3 P0 Z& `/ xWhy? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded9 x/ p7 Z3 L" E7 M1 f) q2 R9 Y

# g+ F; c0 Q. [. E9 O7 H公仔箱論壇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.
( d- k4 P' w2 t5 P/ Gtvb now,tvbnow,bttvbThe 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.
