Structural Concrete Issue 04/15
Cover Story: The 2.815 m long, four-lane Laguna Bridge, also known as the Anita Garibaldi Bridge, will be Brazil’s third longest bridge and will significantly improve the transport connection from north to south to other South American countries.
In October 2012, work started on this 52 span bridge that includes a 400 m long main span stay cable bridge. Protendidos DYWIDAG supplied the following products for this project 30.600 m of ∅32 mm DYWIDAG Bar Tendons and 860 m of ∅36 mm DYWIDAG Bar Tendons with Accessories. Diameter 32 mm DYWIDAG Bar Tendons were used both for the production of the precast segments and for widening the bridge deck using laterally mounted precast cantilever elements.
