Precast segmental concrete bridges for railroad traffic.

Precast segmental concrete bridges for railroad traffic.

(OP)
Please, help me found an examples of precast segmental

RE: Precast segmental concrete bridges for railroad traffic.

I am having the same problem finding material on precast sections for railways.  Have you had any luck finding anything?

RE: Precast segmental concrete bridges for railroad traffic.

(OP)
Thank you for your answer!

It is not a big problem to found segmental bridge for
light rail traffic:

JFC system,
Waterfront Transit Line Bridge is Ohio,
Dublin Light Rail System over the Taney Road
......................................

Segmental solution for regular railroad
(RU from BS5400 , for example)is very rare.

I found several examples (old and new projects),
but I did not find any code specific requirements
or restrictions for this method use
for heavy rail traffic.

The bridges that I found:

Nahal Zin - Israel (the first 70's)
Kakogawa Bridge- Japan (1969-1970)
Beijin-Shanghai High Speed Line- China (under construction?)
Rhone River Viaduct -France (High speed TGV traffic-under construction?)
Avignon bridge - France (High speed TGV traffic-1996-1999)
Le pont Rail -Route de Neuvy-Sur-Loire (1981)
Ventabren Viaduct - France (TGV , 1994-1998)

I am searching for additional examples ,codes, papers and
pictures and drawing.

If you are interesting about this, I can
put links I will found here.
