Simplified Design of Prestressed Concrete Bridges - Part 1: I-Girder Bridges
Also Known As:
ISO 21725-1:2021 focuses on providing design guidelines for prestressed concrete I-girder bridges used in road construction. The standard outlines simplified design rules that are less complex than more comprehensive requirements.
The primary objective of this standard is to ensure the structural integrity of the bridge design. It emphasizes the use of continuity and redundancy to create alternative load paths, ensuring the safety and stability of the bridge. Additionally, the document highlights the importance of selecting structural members and bearing seat widths that can withstand damage or instability.
Furthermore, ISO 21725-1:2021 emphasizes the need for external protection systems to minimize the impact of severe loads, which aligns with the concept of designing bridges to withstand reasonably projected extreme events. These measures contribute to the overall resilience and robustness of the bridge construction.
