| Abstract: |
This paper looks at the possibilities that a novel composite bridge concept has to offer for road bridges using high-performance materials and a cellular deck in combination with structural control. Here, live loads dominate the design, with their dynamic actions mitigated through structural control. This is similar to many modern pedestrian bridges that could not function properly without some sort of structural control (usually TMDs), and where we now find elegant large-span designs, which were impossible before. It thus has the potential to build more slender and cost-efficient structures and achieve bridge spans that go beyond those in use today. |
