Design of an Experimental Prestressed Arch Pedestrian Bridge Made of UHPC

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the design of an experimental prestressed arch pedestrian bridge made of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The structure is designed as a permanent single-span bridge with an intermediate deck. The span of the bridge structure is 58.5 m, the total width is 5.1 m, and the clearance width of the bridge is 4.5 m. The main structure of the bridge consists of two prestressed beams made of UHPC with dispersed steel fibers. The main beams are composed of prefabricated parts, subsequently prestressed.
