Tests have demonstrated that the demands on the ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state for structures can be also achieved without reinforcing bars. The durability of a bridge without reinforcing bars depends in this case only on the durability of the concrete since corrosion is no longer a determining factor regarding the lifetime of the structure. The requirements of the serviceability limit state and the ultimate limit state are fulfilled by providing post-tensioning tendons fitted with strands fully encapsulated in plastic ducts and water-tight anchorages. Since the proposed bridge does not contain any steel, which would be endangered by material-dependent corrosion, there is no need for an insulation of the deck consequently there is also no need for the use of a pavement and edge beams. |
