Romania is an active country from a seismic point of view, every year occurring around 250 earthquakes, many of these of a medium to strong level. This is one of the reasons why the seismic design of bridges is very important in Romania. The seismic provisions applied in Romania evolved from P100 - 92 to P100 - 2013, containing major changes regarding the ground acceleration and corner period, but also regarding the structural details. The cantilever method for prestressed concrete bridges has obvious benefits for...

With the designing of the A2 state road, section Kriva Palanka-Deve Bair, the route of the road intersects the Kriva Reka River in four spots. The bridging of the river in these spots is envisaged with bridge structures. The bridge structures are placed in sequence at a relatively short distance from each other (the distance between the first and the last bridge is about 600 m). In order to define the impact of the bridge structures on the river waterline and the environment, as well as the impact of the river on ...
