Reconstruction of the Bridge Over the Hron River in Village Hronovce

Abstract

The paper deals with the reconstruction of four-span bridge carrying the third-class road over the Hron river nearby village Hronovce. The need of immediate reconstruction of the bridge object was evocated by an accident of the middle pier. The reconstruction consisted of two phases: the sanitation of the substructure and the replacement of the original superstructure, which was in bad technical condition. This paper deals mainly with the second stage, e.g., the design of new superstructure, which was suggested as a continuous, three-span steel and concrete composite structure.
