Description
:
The bridge was built in 2012 in the railway line Kaunas-Kybartai. It is situatade over Sesupe River in the South-West Lithuania. The bridge was built on prestressed concrete sleepers and crushed stone ballast. The bridge is 52,40 m long and 11,82 m wide and has a single span with a length of 32 m. The structural system of the bridge consists of composite steel-concrete deck rigidly connected with the massive reinforced concrete abutments. The bridge had composite steel-concrete deck rigidly connected with the massive reinforced concrete abutments. The elimination of bearings and expansion joints led to savings in construction. The abutments are supported by piles arranged in two rows resulting in rigid frame structure. The deck is composed of 150 mm thick prefabricated concrete deck panel modules. They are arranged on the six welded plate steel beams and cast-in-place concrete slab of 380 mm thick. The connections between steel girders and concrete are made using shear connectors. The bridge was designed in accordance with the Eurocode specifications (LST EN) for composite steel-concrete Bridges.
