Cable-Stayed Footbridge with UHPC Segmental Deck

Abstract:

Ongoing research and development of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) in the Czech Republic has been utilized in design and implementation of light-weight segmental deck of the cable-stayed footbridge over the Labe River in Celakovice with main span of 156 m. Detailing, design issues, construction method and efficiency of using UHPC on this large span lightweight bridge is described in the paper. The superstructure of the Celakovice footbridge was completed in the December 2013 and the bridge was opened for the public in April 2014. Main advantages of this project is not only low maintenance and reasonable life cycle cost but also favourable tender price which was achieved by the contractor Metrostav a.s. due to combination of high-strength modern materials steel and UHPC.
