BRIDGE WIDENING - WOJCIECH RADOMSKI, ANDRZEJ KASPRZAK

Discover the fascinating world of bridge engineering and the challenges of infrastructure modernization. This unique publication is a compendium of knowledge on bridge widening, covering technical, economic and aesthetic aspects. Ideal for students, engineers and anyone interested in the future of bridge construction in Poland.

• Comprehensive approach to the issue of bridge widening
• Analysis of the technical condition of bridge structures
• Economic considerations regarding the cost-effectiveness of widening vs. building a new bridge
• Aesthetic aspects of bridge widening
• Examples of modernization of existing facilities
• For students, designers and contractors

Poland's bridge infrastructure needs modernization, and widening bridge decks is a key element of this process. The book discusses a wide range of technical, research, design and economic activities related to bridge widening. The authors analyze whether it is more cost-effective to widen an existing structure or to demolish it and build a new one with appropriate geometric parameters and load-bearing capacity.

Particular attention is paid to the widening of old structures with historical value, as well as aesthetic aspects. In the case of modernizing single-lane roads into two-lane roads, widening may consist of building a new structure next to the old one, which emphasizes the importance of aesthetics. The publication discusses the issue of bridge widening in a broad technical, economic and aesthetic context.

In light of increasing traffic and changes in the required clearance parameters, widening bridge infrastructure facilities is very important from a practical point of view. This issue is also an interesting field for research and development work aimed at improving the design methods for widening structures of various types and improving the technologies for implementing widening. The book is addressed to students and employees of technical universities, designers, contractors and people managing bridge infrastructure.
