| Abstract: |
The savings in construction time is one reason why composite bridges have become a popular solution in many countries. Further time savings can be achieved by prefabricating not only the steel but also the concrete deck and the substructure. Taking these savings into account also from a road user perspective, makes this concept even more interesting. In this paper different solutions, presented at an international workshop in Stockholm, are discussed. This includes a prefabricated deck solution with dry joints, used for three one span bridges in northern Sweden. Finally a European R&D project, aiming at developing the concept for multi span bridges, is presented. |
