Schnettkerbrücke, Dortmund

ASDO trapezoidal hangers were used for a bridge over the A40 Emschertal motorway near Dortmund. The hangers have a diameter of 220 mm and ends were forged to trapezoidal spade ends with a width of 585mm. The shape of the spade end allows the hangers to be site welded to the main structure with full penetration welds to provide a fatigue resistant design.
