Joining process

• Before tensioning the joining

tendons, the joining surfaces are
coved by a epoxy resin layer to
assure join matching, improve
shear transferring ability between
to segments

• the pre-stressed bars make

temporary pressure on joining
surfaces

Span arrangement

• spans designed as simply supported or

continuous
• for continuous spans, the K0 segments are set up
firstly
• For every span, there is a “wet” join with the
length of 15-30 cm to adjust all geometrical
errors of segments in span.
• “wet” join is casted in-situ with polymer concrete
quick hardening
