Post-tensioned bridge beam

Cet article est aussi disponible en :
A post-tensioned bridge beam is a structural element strengthened by steel cables tensioned after concrete casting, enhancing load-bearing capacity.
  • Allows for longer bridge spans, reducing the number of support structures.
  • Enhanced durability and reduced cracking due to the prestressing of concrete.
  • Fewer materials are required for construction, and longer spans mean fewer piers and less overall cost.
  • Can accommodate variable loads and seismic movements better than traditional bridges.
  •  Slimmer, more elegant profiles due to the ability to span longer distances with fewer supports
