Abstract
New segmental concrete bridge has been built near the city Žilina, aligned on European highway corridor E 50. The bridge is composed of the two separate precast prestressed box girder structure constructed by balanced cantilever method. The total length of both structures is 1042 m. The similar superstructure consists of a total of eighteen continuous spans with main spans of 60.5 m. The construction process, load carrying capacity and monitoring of the bridge has been investigated before the opening of the bridge. The paper presents verification of the structural behaviour of the bridge under static load compared to predicted model for both precast prestressed structures.
