Abstract
Enclosed bridge, which comprises at least one outer tube (9), which forms the outer surface of the bridge, and at least one inner tube (2) fitted inside the outer tube (9), which forms the interior space of the bridge. A truss structure (1) attached to the structure of the bridge is fitted inside the inner tube (2) and is formed of an element forming at least one node and receiving a tensile loading, which truss structure forms least one chord across the inner tube, from one point on its inner surface to the opposite side of the inner surface.

Enclosed bridge, which comprises at least one outer tube (9), which forms the outer surface of the bridge, and at least one inner tube (2) fitted inside the outer tube (9), which forms the internal space of the bridge, as well as at least one truss structure (1) fitted inside the inner tube (2) and attached to the structure of the bridge, which is formed of an element forming at least one node, which truss structure forms least one chord across the inner tube, from one point on its inner surface to the opposite side of the inner surface,
- characterized in that the truss (1) is a rigid truss assembled from bar-like elements receiving tensile and compressive loadings.
