Moody人行大桥是一种反向的芬克式屋架的步行大桥，位于美国德克萨斯州Austin地区。该大桥将德克萨斯州立大学的通信学院的两个建筑联系在一起，方便了学生们的日常生活。该大桥横穿位于西边的Keeton大街，这里也是院系领导的办公地点，是整个校园最热闹的地区之一。我们看到大桥的第一眼，便会被这独特的细条钢制结构所吸引，它们在高度和重量以及规模方面各不相同，沿着校园周边的主要大街展开，看起来优雅华丽。 芬克式的景观结构在之前很常见，但是将之作为承载工具的并不多，这类型的大桥结构在美国来说还是第一个，同时也是世界上唯一一个利用芬克式桁架建立的大桥，因此备受关注。整座桥梁的总长度约为300英尺，即91米，细条状的钢制材料高约65英尺，约为20米，它的跨度很大，就像是该州立大学的入口景观一样，受到游客们的欢迎。 译者：蝈蝈 The Moody Pedestrian Bridge is a one of a kind Inverted Fink Truss bridge in Austin, Texas.
