STRENGTHENING OF BRIDGES WITH EPOXY BONDED STEEL PLATE

Numerous prestressed concrete bridges in the FRG, built by spanwise construction, show cracks in the working joints. For the remedy of these cracks the strengthening with epoxy bonded steel plate is a possible solution to reduce fatigue stresses of the prestressing steel and for crack control. After discussion of the efficiency the actual application of the method for a bridge is presented. (Author)
