The second one examines an innovative prefabrication proposal which, instead of using conventional simply supported precast prestressed beams, uses bilateral precast prestressed cantilevers, leaving gaps of order of 10m at the spans between the cantilevers, which are filled with cast in situ concrete by using suspended formwork in a next construction phase. In this second case the wall-type abutments are connected monolithically with the ends of the deck and are utilized as seismic stoppers. The experimental survey included five test specimens, through which the performance of the monolithic connections of the deck to the piers at the support positions is examined. The two proposals were applied as alternative solutions for the superstructure of real bridges. The first one was applied on a bridge of the PATHE motorway which has 5 spans and a total length of 177.5m, while the second one was applied as alternative solution on a bridge of a motorway in Crete with a length of 400m, which was designed according to the cantilever construction method. 000021791 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000021791 653__ $$aPrefabrication, Monolithic Connection, Analytical Research, Experimental Research, Precast Bilateral Cantilevers, Abutments as Stoppers. 000021791 7112_ $$aCOMPDYN 2017 - 6th International Thematic Conference$$cRhodes Island (GR)$$d2017-06-15 / 2017-06-17$$gCOMPDYN2017 000021791 720__ $$aPapaefthymiou, Ioannis$$iTegos, Ioannis$$iPesios, Dimitrios$$iPapadopoulos, Ilias 000021791 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000021791 8564_ $$s1593088$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/21791/files/17946.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, section: [MS02] Experimental measurements and numerical simulation on problems in the field of Earthquake . 000021791 962__ $$r21500 000021791 980__ $$aPAPER
