New seismic design requirements for bridge structures in Croatia

Due to expansion of highway construction in Croatia, there are a lot of structures to be designed and built in a short period of time. The client Croatian Motorways, designers and contractors are mostly focused on larger structures while the small structures are usually neglected. Highway overpasses are normally relatively short span bridges. Often their alignment is similar and the constructor's wish for maximum unification and standardization to reduce overall building costs usually prevails. The intention of the study made at our department was to develop a few new overpass types for Croatian highways, which will be more functional, safer for highway users and aesthetically more pleasing1. The result of the study are three new types of overpasses with many alternative designs and details for further application.
