#5 AFRP butterfly web bridge, a new method for testing compressive strength and CFRP prestressing

Highlights of #5: First of the butterfly web bridges built with non-metallic reinforcement, a new in-situ method for testing concrete compressive strength and compilation of testing methods for CFRP prestressed concrete
Salginatobel Bridge by Robert Maillart (1930) (source). Maillart was born on 16 February 1872, so in two weeks we can celebrate his 150 birthday anniversary:)

Highlights of #5:

  • First of the butterfly web bridges built with non-metallic reinforcement.
  • A novel in-situ method for testing concrete compressive strength on-site, which can allow saving time and money? Needs to be verified, but looks promising!
  • A compilation of testing and design methods for CFRP prestressed concrete. It's always nice to have it in one place.
