Punt Ruinaulta Vorderhein, Switzerland Type of building: Bridge Architect: Walter Bieler AG, Bonaduz www.swiss-architects.com Project link: www.rheinschlucht.ch © own work, Punt Ruinaulta nach Norden, CC BY-SA 3.0 The suspension bridge located in Vorderhein, canton Grisons enables pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Rhine. The Rhine Gorge in Grisons is one of the most majestic and diverse landscapes in the Alps. Surrounded by a lot of lakes and a diversity of wildlife and vegetation the gorge is a very popular destination for hikers, cyclists and canoers. Punt Ruinaulta connects the Swiss communities Trin and Bonaduz and is 105 m long with a span of 75 m. The bridge architecture blends in with the landscape due to its clear design and was awarded for its wood construction. Due to the local conditions the bridge was constructed as a two-span beam without any supporting pillars placed in the river. The construction consists of two concrete pylons and a suspension rope. Prefabricated Stremaform® was used to create the gap within the main pylon which simplified the concreting process. MAX FRANK spacers and distance tubes were also supplied for this project.

We appreciate your careful review of the manuscript and the well structured constructive feedback received. Please ﬁnd our response below that includes descriptions of the resulting changes in the manuscript. The changes made can be found attached to this commentary. We trust that these changes have improved the work, making it suitable for publication in your journal. We are looking forward to your response. General response to all reviewers’ comments Based on the feedback received, we identiﬁed three major areas of concern. 1. The use of an unconventional paper structure The initial idea was to show readers three times the proposed process, each time at a different level of detail: the generic methodology, the application of the methodology, and the modelling. This approach led to the reuse of section headings in some cases and a scattered literature review. We agree with the reviewers that this presentation can cause confusion. Therefore, to improve its readability, we restructured our manuscript as follows: (a) (1.

Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

Adey1, and Lorenz Hurni2 1Institute of Construction and Infrastructure Management, ETH Zurich, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland 2Institute of Cartography and Geoinformation, ETH Zurich, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland Correspondence to: Jürgen Hackl ([email protected]) Abstract. Networks, such as transportation, water, and power, are critical lifelines to society. Managers plan and execute in- terventions to guarantee the operational state of their networks under various circumstances, including after the occurrence of (natural) hazard events. Creating an intervention program demands knowing the probable consequences (i.e., risk) of the vari- ous hazard events that could occur to be able to mitigate their effects. This paper introduces a methodology to support network 5 managers in the quantification of the risk related to their networks. The method emphasizes the integration of the spatial and temporal attributes of the events that need to be modeled to estimate the risk. This work then demonstrates the usefulness of the methodology through its application to design and implement a risk assessment to estimate the potential impact of flood and mudflow events on a road network located in Switzerland. The example includes the modeling of (i) multiple hazard events, (ii) their physical and functional effects throughout the road network, (iii) the functional interrelationships of the affected objects 10 in the network, (iv) the resulting probable consequences in terms of expected costs of restoration, cost of traffic changes, and duration of network disruption, and (v) the restoration of the network.
