Abstract [en]
The overall traffic density and the allowed vehicle weights have been increasing over the last decades. As a response, new roads and railway lines are continuously planned and built. On the other hand, the existing bridges must also be capable of dealing with the increasing traffic volume and the increasing vehicle weights. Many existing bridges were not originally designed for the high traffic loads and todays traffic volume. To cope with the increased loads and load frequencies, the aged structures need repair and strengthening. To avoid the replacement of existing structures, the overall objective is to improve the structural performance of existing steel and steel-concrete bridges by providing innovative and well documented repair and strengthening solutions to bridge designers and road/railway-administrations in Europe. In this paper the use of UHPFRC as a solution for bridge and viaduct repair and strengthening has been presented.
