Net-arch Bridges with Hot-rolled Sections

ArcelorMittal – Luxembourg

• Composite bridges with hot-rolled sections represent an economic and sustainable solution for small and medium spans (10m ~ 45m). They can be realized in different innovative forms thanks to the flexible applications of hot-rolled sections.
• Composite bridges with hot-rolled sections in high strength steels are lightweight structures which are
  easy to handle on construction site and allow for an easy and quick erection.
• The short construction time makes composite bridges with hot-rolled sections the perfect and proven
  solution for rapid reconstruction after natural disasters, e.g. floodings, or wars.

Characteristics

• Lightweight and Aesthetic Design
  – High-strength hot-rolled sections (e.g., HISTAR 460) enable sleek, lightweight bridge structures.
• Splice- Free Long- Span Construction
  – Enables spans up to 40 m without splicing, easing transport and installation.
• Efficient Prefabrication and Installation
  – Workshop-fabricated girders are delivered ready to install with mobile cranes.
• Durable and Cost- Effective Materials
  – Weathering steel (e.g., Arcorox) shortens construction time and reduces maintenance.
• Low Environmental Footprint
  – Uses hot-rolled sections made from 100% recycled steel and renewable energy (e.g., XCarb).

Applications

Refurbishment of the bridge “Pont de Pertus” , France (06), partially destroyed by floods in October 2020.
Reopened in already 2021 using 4 girders with hot-rolled sections HL 1000 B in weathering steel (Arcorox®) for
destroyed span.
