ABSTRACT
The Öland Bridge is a 6,072 m long concrete girder road bridge that connects the island of Öland with the mainland of Sweden. The bridge was constructed in the period 1968 to 1972. Only about ten years from the opening, the bridge piers showed the first signs of deterioration due to the fact that the concrete piers were not sufficiently resistant to the very aggressive environment, and the substructure were rehabilitated during the 90’ties.
