Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete

<p>The 2404 m long Pelješac Bridge ranks among the most demanding bridges in the world in terms of both the technological complexity of construction and the complexity of the design. The bridge is located in an area of extremely high seismic activity, exposed to strong and gusty north and south winds. It is designed as a multi-span extradosed bridge with a semi-integral hybrid structure with five 285 m long central spans. Once built, the bridge will rank among the 5 largest and most attractive European bridges built in the early 21st century.</p>
