Popis: The Institute of Structural Engineering of TU Wien is working on a new method for the construction of deck slabs for bridges, using partial depth precast concrete elements with an in-situ concrete layer. This construction method can be used for all types of bridges, but in this paper, the application for steel- concrete- composite bridges is shown.Building the slab with partial depth precast elements are used. These elements will be delivered from the precast factory to the building site, where they are stored next to the abutment. An installation carriage with vertically adjustable steel bars is picking up the elements from the assembly area and carrying them to the installation site where the elements are situated in their final position. The additional reinforcement will be placed and a concrete layer will be applied.
