Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic, : L# m E& u' y4 [( WTVBNOW 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。Or just the weight of the water? ; M2 }8 Y0 T# d% o1 e( X8 k9 z

It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! 公仔箱論壇8 ^. Y) C( w" `; D8 g! d
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 p& k/ `$ T( F& N公仔箱論壇4 b- G: N, j. Q

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. - h: T" k4 Y+ i8 h4 itvb 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. , `6 p. z2 v6 z$ w: J& j- F8 ]6 e公仔箱論壇5.39.217.77:8898) z1 [2 Z9 L) m2 `; X- B m
Construction of the water link was started as early as in the 1930s but due to the World War 2 and subsequent division of Germany the work remained suspended till 1997. The aqueduct was finally completed and opened to the public in 2003. 1 U( |2 k7 S' B8 w, E9 xtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb' I1 `8 E( r/ Q4 f' e. C) O2 N6 `8 H
