Road Bridge over the Sava River near Sremska Raca

The bridge over the Sava river, near Sremska Raca, represents the end of the highway section from Kuzmin to Sremska Raca, which is about 18 km long. The total length of the bridge with approach structures is about 1300.0m. The main steel bridge structure is a continuous girder system on three spans L = 90.0 + 150.0 + 90.0 = 330.0m. The main girder is a single-celled box structure of trapezoidal cross section, which is characterized by constant height of 5000 mm. Assembly of the main bridge structure was carried out using the Incremental launching method. The Design envisaged 4 expansion sections in each carriageway on the left bank of the Sava River (in Serbia) and two expansion sections in each carriageway on the right riverbank (in B\&H). Total lenght of approach structures on boath sides of the Sava river amounts 539,50m+448,30m in the left carriageway, and 530,50m+448,30m in the right carriageway. Approach structures of the bridge over the Sava River were designed with two girder types. Precast prestressed reinforced concrete girders, 40.50 m long were designed for shorter spans at places where the Designer was not conditioned by obstacles and requirements. Prestressed box structures were designed in the revetment zone in Serbia and in the zone of curves and transition curves. All structures are designed as continuous structures with constant height.
