The invention relates to a support structure of a cover of a structure capable of being inserted into the ground, for example of a shaft or a channel, wherein the cover (10) comprises a traversable surface (11) and the support structure (20) extends downwards under said cover into the structure and comprises beam-shaped supports (21-23) such that their under support side (24) facing away from the surface (11) experiences a tensile stress when the surface (11) is loaded. The invention is further characterized in that between two areas (A, A′) a thickness (D) of the carriers with minimum tensile stress is configured substantially symmetrically in an increasing manner up to a maximum value and then, in turn, in a decreasing manner to form a ball shape when viewing the cover from below.
A support structure of a cover, wherein the cover comprises a traversable surface and the support structure extends downwards under the cover into a structure, and the support structure comprises beam-shaped supports such that a lower support side of the beam-shaped supports facing away from the traversable surface is subject to a tensile stress when a load is applied to the traversable surface, the beam-shaped supports comprising radially-extending supports extending from an outer edge of the cover inwards, the radially-extending supports each comprising an inner end, the radially-extending supports interconnected at the inner ends by inner supports, each inner support comprising two ends and the each inner support extending from the inner end of one radially-extending support to the inner end of another radially-extending support,
