Croatian Motorway Network has greatly expanded in the last decade. During that time numerous bridges and viaducts were designed and built. They were mostly built from prefabricated girders which enabled fast construction. On the other hand it was limiting factor for the designers since standardized girders were used. Although they were similarly designed, great attention was given to detail design in order to have primarily durable structures. Visible details like safety barriers are parts users mostly criticize and complain about. Therefore aesthetics aspects were highly respected as well. However, Croatian bridges are proving that we also have respectable achievements in this field. Croatian experience in building large concrete arch bridges is well-known (Krk Bridge). |
