Dürnbach bridge pilot project – Germany’s first precast railway bridge made of UHPC, part 1
Ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is characterized by an extremely dense structure and thus very high strengths as well as excellent durability properties. This enables slender construction in a material-saving and weight-reduced way, opening up completely new possibilities and applications in the field of precast concrete construction.
In the course of the renewal of the superstructure of an existing railway bridge of the Tegernseebahn network, the material could be used for the first time particularly purposeful and advantageous for the construction of a railway...
