Abstract:<p>A new roadway transition structure for long integral abutment bridges has been invented at the Institute of Structural Engineering at Vienna University of Technology. It consists of prefabricated prismatic concrete elements which are positioned on a sliding plane and connected by flexible corrosion resistant tension members. At one end, these tension members are connected to the bridge structure and at the other end to an abutment block. The total horizontal displacement of the bridge is evenly distri… Show more
