| Abstrakt: |
One of the areas where the bridge designer has a real influence on the sustainability of the performance is in the widening of existing bridges. The use of the structure is always beneficial from an environmental point of view as the life span of the bridge is increased by using the existing structure. A good example of this is the widening of bridges. The article includes examples of the widening of three different structural types: a stone arch bridge, a prestressed concrete bridge with box section and a cable-stayed bridge. In all three cases, the existing structural systems have been used thanks to the team's willingness and knowledge of the techniques associated with bridge maintenance and preservation. |
