| Abstract: |
Research at the Department of Steel and Timber Structures of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the CTU in Prague is focused on steel and steel-concrete highway bridge durability. The paper summarizes the frequent failures of the existing steel highway bridges, discusses failure causes and extended service life effect of bridge maintenance or refurbishment. The thick bridge deck is a typical short span defect. The difference between actual behaviour and numerical model is highlighted. The employed solution is outlined. |
