- Synopsis
- The steel-concrete hybrid bridges have been remarkably developed during the last decade in Japan due to the technological and economical advantages throughout the design and construction process and service life. There are two ways to realize the hybrid bridges. First one is from the steel bridge and the other one is the approach from concrete bridge. The steel-concrete hybrid consists of composite- and mixed bridge. Therefore, not only latest composite bridge examples, but also mixed ones are reported in this paper. In addiction to those superstructures, one example of the substructures by using the idea of the composite columns is also introduced herein.
