Bridge Design Course: Lorette Bridge and Quail Bridge

This lecture covers the detailed description of the Lorette Bridge, an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with a total length of approximately 110m. It discusses the structure, materials used, environmental considerations, and innovative mounting methods. Additionally, it explores the construction details, geotechnical aspects, and the challenges faced during the building process. The lecture also delves into the design and construction of the Quail Bridge, a concrete arch bridge connecting Annecy and Saint Julien. It highlights the structural elements, support systems, and the importance of foundation resistance. The presentation emphasizes the unique features of both bridges and the engineering solutions implemented to ensure their durability and functionality.
