Experiences with the First Generation of Prestressed Concrete Bridges in Germany
Abstract Four major bridges built in the years 1950–1953 had to be inspected and refurbished by the author. The bridges and their main problems are described. Thin webs and slabs and small construction depths were typical of the designs. The main defects encountered were: uncompacted carbonated concrete, ungrouted tendons and defective waterproof membranes. These are presented and compared for similar bridges. Conclusions are given regarding requirements for maintenance, guides for inspection and lessons for the design of new bridges. The refurbishment s described give a general indication of the’ state of the art’ of bridges in Germany.
