ABSTRACT

BRIDGE|50 is a research project recently launched in Italy in the context of the Torino-Ceres construction works jointly with Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino, public authorities and private companies. The aim of the BRIDGE|50 research project is to investigate the residual structural performance of the Corso Grosseto 50-year-old prestressed concrete bridge through an experimental campaign. The dismantling and demolition procedures of Corso Grosseto viaduct are presented in this paper, including the setup of the field laboratory where several deck beams and pier caps will be tested up to collapse.
