TY - CHAP A1 - Zanon, Riccardo A1 - Rademacher, Dennis A1 - Seidl, Günter A1 - Pak, Daniel T1 - Integral VFT-RS composite bridges : efficient standard highway overpasses T2 - IABSE Symposium Prague 2022 : Challenges for Existing and Oncoming Structures N2 - Starting from Germany, the VFT® bridge girder technology (prefabricated composite beam) has spread in several European countries in the last decades as further development of the standard steel-concrete composite solution. Its configuration fits perfectly to integral frame bridges built over existing infrastructure with the scope to minimize the traffic disturbance. In this paper a further development with the focus on cost efficiency in span ranges of 40-55 m is proposed: the VFT-RS technology. The change consists in using standard rolled sections by adapting them into the integral frame bridge configuration, further enhancing the structural efficiency with the benefits of high- steel strength. The constructive details to achieve the polygonal form have been studied to allow easy fabrication and a maximal clearance height over highway traffic lanes. The VFT-RS solution is conceived as the economic option of standard highway overpasses, with the aim of an overall construction cost reduction of 5%.

Due to the high number and similar boundary conditions, the design and realization tends to be standardized and repetitive. The total length ranges mostly between 40 and 55 m, whereas the construction height is a limiting factor since minimumclearance heights must be guaranteed both for safety as well as for driving comfort. Due to these reasons, highway overpasses have been a field of application where steel-framed composite decks have proventheir efficiency for this task. Starting from Germany, the VFT technology (prefabricated composite beam) has spread in several European countries in the last decades as further development of the standard steel-concrete composite solution. Its configuration fits perfectly to integral frame bridges built over existing infrastructure with the scope to minimize the traffic disturbance. In this paper a further step is proposed: the VFT-RS technology.

Bisher wurde der Spannweitenbereich über 40 m aus VFT-Trägern mit geschweißten Trägern realisiert. Walzträger der Güte S460M sind in diesem Spannweitenbereich eine gestalterisch gute Alternative, bergen ein großes Einsparpotenzial im Konstruktionsstahl und bieten eine hohe Flexibilität in Hinblick auf die Schlankheit. Durch die großen Steg- und Flanschdicken sind dei VFT-Träger sehr robust. Der Aufsatz beschreibt die Konstruktion und beleuchtet wirtschaftliche und gestalterische Aspekte von VFT-Trägern aus Walzträgern.
