Advanced concrete structures
Vítek J.L.
pages 5 - 10, full text

Concrete is a common material applied in bridge construction. The paper illustrates the development of concrete structures within last 100 years on selected examples. Although the service-life of some concrete structures is shorter than expected, the correctly designed and executed structures prove that concrete is a good material which meets the requirements. The selected structures are interesting not only as a final product, but the construction technology may be also of interest, and it is shown that the construction is a part of the design which cannot be neglected, especially in terms of the costs. Trend to minimize maintenance is leading to the design of integral bridges. Finally, a short comment on application of ultrahigh strength concrete shows that the development in concrete structure is still in progress and further improvement in the field of concrete structures can be expected.
