Abstract

Abstract In the paper, the actual condition of several existing concrete railway bridges with encased steel beams is discussed. This structural type represents relatively often solution for small span railway bridges in Slovakia. The main conclusions from inspections and in-situ diagnostics are published together with the results of the loadcarrying capacity calculation on the basis of new European codes. Despite of well-known disadvantages, the bridges with filler-beam decks are still demanded by railway authorities because of their big stiffness and small construction depth.
