New Composite Construction Method with STEEL/UHPFRC Constructing Railway Bridges

Abstract:

In Austria last years sequenced according modern technology successfully bridges were made from UHPC or UHPFRC [1], [2], [3]. A couple of well-done examples of these bridges I presented on the occasion of Prof. Sparowitz birthday publication in 2017 [2]. Recently in Austria another example of a railway bridge consisting innovative material UHPFRC - created as a composite construction - was projected by ZKP ZT GmbH by order of Austrian Railway Company ÖBB. Innovative and new is the application of Ultra-High Performance Concrete in combination with Steel S355J2+N creating a composite action in highest utilization of both material strengths and auxiliary connected with a steel panel. Construction work was done from March to September 2017, the bridge was finished in October 2017 in single railway track Lavanttalbahn near city Wolfsberg in Carinthia.
