Highway arch bridge

The aim of the master thesis was a design of arch highway bridge made of prestressed reinforced concrete. In the beginning two versions of construction were designed, with box-girder and double-girder cross section of bridge deck, from which the variant of double-girder cross section in combination with box-girder arch were chosen for further detail postprocessing. The basics of the solution laid in right choice of dimensions of elements creating load-bearing system and construction geometry. Subsequently global beam model was created, which was used to prestress design and structural assessment of ultimate and serviceability limit states of pillars, arches and bridge deck during the building phases, service lifetime and in the end of lifetime of construction. For detail assessment, linear and nonlinear analysis was created using Midas Civil. To check the cross-sectional direction of bridge deck, slab model was made using Scia Engineer softwar
