Abstract
A prestressed concrete bridge utilizing new material for all main tendons, located within a golf course in Tsukude Village, Minami Shitara County, Aichi Prefecture has been completed. It is a rigid frame bridge with center hinge. The bridge length is 111.0 m (span=75.0 m). Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) were used as tendons for cantilever erection as well as external tendons.The scale of the bridge and the quantity of new material used are the among the largest so far. In order to overcome the problems faced in the application of multi-cable in the bridge, various experiments were conducted.This paper introduces particularly on the design method of the bridge and report of experiments related to anchorage system, design and construction.
