| Abstract: |
In the Netherlands a bridge is built crossing the motorway A27 near Utrecht. This bridge was constructed as a combination of steel and FRP, with a total length of 140 meters. The bridge is made of a steel truss girder and a deck of FRP (composite).The connection of the composite deck to the steel truss girder was a challenging part. To solve this problem two load-paths are introduced. The first is made with an adhesive compound, the second with a pin-hole connection. Also the location of the bridge with the foundation inside a polder construction with highly compressible soil was a challenge to solve. The use of a jet grouting was necessary to solve this problem. |
