Abstract:

In this article we want to analyse the design of five footbridges in functional adjustment of the ring road of Catania, in Sicily. In case of earthquake are necessary planned interventions: for this reason some flyover will be demolished to restore the road system with the creation of ring junctions.

However, when the project will be ended, the city will be divided in two areas for the lack of pedestrian links between the south and the north of the road system.

The goal of our study is to create a link between this two areas of the city, that will be separated with the creation of the new ring road.
