In St. Jakob im Kärntner Rosental, the new Paulifurtbrücke bridge over the Rosenbach was realized as a trough-shaped frame bridge. For the bridge with a span of 32 m, the crossbeams were made of prestressed UHPC elements. The use of thin-walled, yet highly robust UHPC components subsumed the necessity of geometric stiffness in the structural design. Thus, special emphasis could be placed on the aesthetic aspects.
