Abstract

In the present work the design and experimental analysis of a pedestrian bridge is presented. The actual bridge consists of a supporting truss system built with IPC sandwich panels and a horizontal concrete deck. The [PC is a kind of ceramic which is reinforced with glass fibers. The connection between the sandwich panels the truss system and the concrete deck is done using specially designed steel elements. The aim of this work is the examination of the behavior of the prototype that is constructed and evaluated via static and dynamic tests. The results of the experimental analysis are necessary for the final evaluation of the structure before the construction of bigger bridges and in order to have an overview of the critical areas of the structure that have to be reconsidered during the design phase of a different structure.
