Figure No. 4.2-1 Concrete Bridge Deck surface preparation by grinding machine
This finish is for bridge decks that are to receive the approved waterproofing systems. The
concrete shall be uniformly leveled and to produce a plain finish. Finally the surface shall be textured
by brushing or otherwise as per the requirements by producer of waterproofing as agreed with
Engineer. After finishing the substrate preparation, prepared part of bridge deck should be closed for
any type of traffic before application of waterproofing layers.
Adequate pull-off test for adhesion to the substrate shall be conducted on the substrate by
applicator at construction site. Adequate surface preparation is indicated by tensile bond strengths of
primer to the substrate.
2) Surface finishing method
When the top surface elevation of concrete is lower than designed, repair material or concrete is
used to make the surface level
When there are some lumps on the top surface, they are burnished by using the polishing machine
When the top surface elevation of concrete is more than 2cm higher than designed, at first the
above parts are cut, then two layers are applied for concrete cover
If there is some oil on the top surface, it is washed.
3) Repair of defects
After application of each coat, only identified pin/blow holes must be over-coated with
“Eliminator” or “Patch Repair Waterproofing membrane” at an additional minimum wet film thickness
of 1.2mm per coat
Any blisters or damage must be made good by cutting back to sound material, the periphery
prepared if necessary as for lapping and a repair coat of “Eliminator” or “Patch Repair Waterproofing
membrane”, ensuring a minimum peripheral lap of 50mm around the repair.

Where the damage is through to the concrete deck, the exposed concrete at first must be cleaned
and then re-primed.
4) Construction
① Waterproofing of bridge deck carriageway
“Eliminator” system on bridge deck carriageway is applied on the following areas:
i. all horizontal parts of concrete bridge deck
ii. Primer PAR 1, MMA “Eliminator”, bond coat
iii. all verticals of concrete bridge deck (if any) in height according to design, or by Engineer’s order;
on vertical surfaces one type “Eliminator” is in use as it is thixotropic
iv. Primer PAR 1, MMA “Eliminator”, bond coat
v. parts of steel structures/drainage water outlets, and/or parts of Expansion Joints
vi. Anti-corrosive primer Zed S-94, MMA “Eliminator”.
(1) Primers
Primer for concrete, fast curing PAR 1 – the primer shall be applied in one coat by roller. It should
be noted that particularly porous substrates may require additional primer to give a sealed gloss finish
to the primed deck. PAR 1 is used with a typical coverage rate of 0.20kg/m2 to 0.25kg/m2.
Primer for steel, anti-corrosive primer Zed S-94 – the primer shall be applied in one coat by roller
with a typical coverage rate of 0.20kg/m2. Removal of contaminants and surface preparation shall be
performed by grit blast cleaning
(2) Waterproofing membrane “Eliminator” – two coats
“Eliminator” membrane consists of two resin components (Part A and Part B) supplied in metal
drums, and a bag of BPO, supplied in pre-weighed quantities ready for on-site-mixing. The Part A
resin component is of neutral colour. The Part B resin component is pigmented to yellow and white or
grey.
The membrane shall be applied in two colour-coded coats using an airless-spray machine-pump.
A coverage rate of 1.60kg/m2 per coat may be adopted to achieve a minimum dry film thickness of
1.0mm per coat. The membrane shall be capable of being applied at the specified thickness on all
vertical sections. The first coat is usually pigmented yellow. The colour of the second coat is white or
grey.
These measures take account of localized variations in the substrate profile and help ensure that
the minimum dry film thickness of 1.0mm per coat is achieved over the whole substrate including over
any peaks and irregularities in substrate. The required minimum coverage rate is 1,6kg/m2 per coat.
“Eliminator” can be applied on vertical surfaces too. Procedure is the same as for horizontal

surfaces.
Where new “Eliminator” membrane is to be jointed to existing cured membrane, the new
application should be lapped on to the existing by 50mm.
If an area is left untreated or the membrane becomes damaged, a patch repair shall be carried out to
restore the integrity of the system. The damaged area shall be cut back to sound material and wiped
with solvent (e.g. acetone) up to a width of at least 50mm on the periphery, removing any
contaminants. The substrate shall be primed as necessary, followed by the application of membrane. A
continuous layer shall be obtained over the substrate with a 50mm overlap onto existing membranes.
(3) Bond coat for bonding with hot-rolled asphalt concrete AC 8/PmB surfacing
The applied bond coat shall be dry and contaminant free prior to the application of the hot-rolled
asphalt.
The finished rolling temperature of the surfacing shall exceed the activation temperature of the
bond coat, which is 90°C for bond coat.
The maximum permissible surfacing temperature for application onto the “Eliminator” system is
230°C when using bond coat.
The mechanical action of the asphalt paver on bond coat should be kept to a minimum. Wherever
possible, pneumatic tyred vehicles are in use. Tracked vehicles can cause pick up and so should only
be used with extra care. Paver wheels should be cleaned and sprayed regularly with a detergent
solution (washing-up liquid: water at a ratio of about 1:100).
Delivery vehicle wheels should be inspected, cleaned and sprayed with detergent solution
(washing-up liquid: water at a ratio of about 1:100) before being driven on the bond coat.
Stationary vehicles on the bond coat should be avoided. If operations are suspended or delayed, all
vehicles should be removed from the bond coat.
② Waterproofing of bridge deck sidewalk (This part is only applied on Moracica Bridge)
i. “Eliminator” system on bridge deck sidewalk is applied on the following areas:
ii. all horizontal parts of concrete bridge deck sidewalk Primer PAR, MMA “Eliminator” one-coat
iii. all verticals of concrete bridge deck sidewalk (if any) in height according to design, or by
Engineer’s order; on vertical surfaces one type “Eliminator” is in use as it is thixotropic
iv. Primer PAR 1, MMA “Eliminator” one-coat.
(1) Primers
Primer for concrete, fast curing PAR 1 – the primer shall be applied in one coat by roller. It should
be noted that particularly porous substrates may require additional primer to give a sealed gloss finish
to the primed deck. PAR 1 is used with a typical coverage rate of 0.20kg/m2 to 0.25kg/m2.

should be applied. It is not allowed to add fresh material to partially cured material.
Application may proceed while the air and substrate temperatures are between 0°C and 30°C,
providing the substrate is above the dew point. Pour the content of the bucket, in quantities appropriate
to the pre-marked areas, onto the substrate and using a short pile roller, to ensure the binder is spread
evenly.
Safetrack is applied in two coats, each coat applied to give dry film of 0.50mm per coat. It is
necessary that the first coat is fully cured before the application of the second coat. Each coat shall be
applied in 0.90kg/m2 per coat for thickness of 0.50mm per coat. It is applied by roller in colour by
Employer’s wish. The required coverage rate depends on surface texture and porosity.
The works cannot be performed during the atmospheric precipitation.
Side effects of performing the waterproofing works when applying the MMA “Eliminator”
system and Safetrack system is only a sharp and strong smell that characterizes all components of the
system.
When applying of waterproofing system is fully completed, that surface should not be in use prior
to starting of asphalt works.
For Manufacturer’s Method Statement for waterproofing works, we refer to the Annex of this
document.
4.2.4. Checking
Two types of Requests for Inspection and Approval (RIA) for waterproofing works:
(1) RIA for checking the MMA waterproofing material prior to applying the waterproofing on Bridge
Deck (ref. to the Annex of this document with the approved subject RIA)
(2) RIA for pull-off test after the waterproofing works have been completed.

Measuring of thickness of each layer of waterproofing system is conducted by using the so-called
comb gauge test and per each 10m2, in accordance with Technical Specifications in the Bridge Main
Design. Also the material consumption is controlled. The results on performed measuring of thickness
of waterproofing layers will be recorded in check list.
For Manufacturer’s check list, we refer to the Annex of this document.
Pull-off test for MMA waterproofing is performed by Contractor’s laboratory in accordance with
the standard EN 13596:2004. According to Technical Specifications in the Bridge Main Design,
frequency of pull-off testing is at three points per each 500m2. According to ETAG 033 Liquid
Applied Bridge Deck Waterproofing Kits, the required minimum bond strength value between the
waterproofing layer and concrete substrate is 1.0MPa. The adopted average value is around 1.5MPa.
The minimum adhesion value per waterproofing layer is 1.0MPa. After testing for waterproofing is
completed, Test Report is submitted to Engineer.
Overlapping between the old and the new waterproofing is max 10cm.
After the pull-off test is completed, the part of surface where the test was performed is
subsequently processed manually, in accordance with Manufacturer’s instructions and technical data
sheet – manual repair of damaged areas.

- The anchoring must be screwed on by means of a torque spanner and the fastening torque should be
50 Nm.
- Attention must be paid that the coupling is introduced completely. All residual concrete in the
couplings Y profile must be removed prior to application.
f) Inspection of bolts installation
- Proposed inspection method for the bolts installation: Randomly choose any installed bolts (total
quantity should not be less than 3%), 60 ~ 70 Nm (20% ~ 40% higher than required) torque should be
applied on the bolts, which can confirm its conformity if this is successful.
Detection method
The installation of the crash barrier must be smooth, with little fluctuation.

Table No. 4.4.1-1 Material Specification for Drainage System on the Bridge
General bridge
Gullies produced by “ACO”or“PURATOR”approved within MAR No. 388, are applied on Bridge
structures.
Also pipes for water filtering Ø50mm of diameter, set per each 6m, approved within Supplement
1 to MAR No. 062, are applied on bridges.
4.4.3. Construction Methodology
Moracica bridge
All the water collects into the gullies by crossfall and grade and it is discharged out of the bridge
by longitudinal drainage pipes which are set under the cantilever of main girder at lower side. The
gullies are set on the lowest part of the carriageway in the line that is 20cm far from the curb. The
water interflows towards the gullies by carriageway crossfall and grade. The water from the bridge
carriageway is collected into longitudinal drainage pipes in two ways: the first water collecting is
carried out on the part of the bridge which is in straight line and the other one is carried out on the part
of the bridge which is in curve. There are 2 longitudinal drainage pipes on the part of the bridge in
straight line in cross section. These pipes are set under the cantilevers of girder on both sides. The
longitudinal grade of pipe follows the longitudinal grade of bridge. The crossfall at the part of the
bridge in the curve is turned towards one side, so there is a drainage pipe added in the middle of the
girder. Considering the longitudinal grade of vertical alignment is turned towards the beginning of the
bridge, the pipe under left cantilever of the bridge continues to the beginning of the bridge. There are 3
drainage pipes in the cross section of the bridge on this part.

Figure No. 4.4-7 Sketch for drainage system in the area of Expansion Joint
General bridge
This chapter presents general method statement for installation of drainage pipes under bridges, it
is described below:
i. Mounting of the movable bridge scaffolding
ii. After the detailed project overview, the pipe hangers have been installed.
The pipe hangers are put on every 1.50 till 2.00m, for pipe, and right between polyester couplings
on both ends, for T pieces.
The threaded roadФ16mm has been installed in the bridge plate with anchors M16.
The threaded rod length depends of projected bridge slope, i.e. of projected pipes drop to the
outlets.
iii. After hangers are installed, the next is installation of the demounting – mounting couplings (or
EPDM according to the request) DN150 on the outlet of bridge gully with the pipe part DN 150 from T
piece. We fix it by screwing the existing screws on EPDM DN150, or on demounting – mounting
couplings.
iv. The next step is installing of the GRP pipes. We are giving it to the workers who are on the bridge
scaffolding by straps.
When installing the pipe in the clamp, it is mandatory that the EPDM tire is installed in the clamp,
which is mounted to protect the pipe from damage during dilatation. When the installers have taken the
pipe, then the distance from the T-pieces to the next T-slide is approaching, the pipe is machined cut to
a certain extent, and then the ends of the pipes are lubricated with the standard product supplied with
the pipes.

The pipe which is prepared moves backward, so we can install T piece. We fix it on already
installed drainage pipe DN150. We install pipe in lubricated polyester coupling on the end of the T
piece, so that one worker is fixing a T piece on one side, and other worker push the pipe in the
polyester coupling by the pressure. After a preparing T piece, the other pipe DN 150 end is fixed to
bridge coupling or EPDM by screwing of existing screws.
After we have finished pipe and T piece fixing, we are starting with the tightening of the clamps
with 6 nuts fi 16mm, which has been put on two threaded rod ends, which wear the clamp.
Note: We mount 4 nuts on the pipe hangers, for pipes DN200, and 6 nuts fi 16mm for pipes
DN250 and bigger diameters.
4.4.4. Testing method
Moracica bridge
Construction and testing of pipelines is performed according to EN 1610:1997.
All pipelines have to be secured from separation. For standard pipelines, the testing pressure is
min 0.1bar and max 0.5bar. At first, the filling of pipeline with water is performed, starting from the
deepest point of pipeline system. The pipeline is being filled with water till the whole pipeline is fully
filled, and the existing air should go out at the highest point. Recommended preparation time is about
one hour, which includes the period in which the porous materials absorb the water in natural way, and
until the required temperature equation between the water temperature and the temperature of the pipe
walls is achieved. Later the ends of pipe are closed, and the required pressure for testing is applied.
The water amount which is spilled is compensated by adding the water. Duration of testing has to be
unique – 30min.
The complete system and all the connections are tested, and the criteria is that the water level
does not fall down for 24h, and that there is no leakage.
Maintenance of Drainage System
Drainage system made of polyester does not require a special kind of maintenance. Visual
inspection has to be conducted twice a year – prior to winter period and at the end of winter. Pipes and
hangers should be controlled.
If there is a snow in pipes, it should be cleaned by lukewarm water, so there is no damage to
connections.
General bridge
Construction and testing of pipelines is performed according to EN 1610:1997.
During this procedure, all pipelines must be secured against the separation. The testing pressure is
min 0.1 bar, and max 0.5 bar for standard pipelines. Then we start with the filling. We are fill first at
the deepest point of the pipeline system. We are filling the pipelines with the water until the whole

pipeline is completely filled with the water, and the existing air should go out at the highest point.
Recommended preparation time is about one hour. Here, it is meant at what time, in which the porous
materials in the natural way absorb water until saturation of the limited amount, and until the desired
temperature equation between the water temperature and the temperature of the pipe walls is achieved.
The pipe ends are closed later, and we bring in desired pressure for the testing. The water amount that
is spilled has been compensated by water adding. It has to ensure that the aqueous subsequently
refilled quantity does not exceed the discharge height of 10cm of water column (1 psi).
The duration of pipes testing must be unique for 30 minutes.

Pipeline Disinfection Procedure
i. The pipe will be fulfilled directly from the tank trucks, or from the ‘’Podovi” tank. The valves are
close. About 20 tank trucks of water are needed. Check the quality of the water after it has been
disinfected. If it is of good quality, open the valve towards the BPC ‘’LIJEVA RIJEKA’’.
ii. Fulfilling the pipe line Podovi-Lijeva Rijeka and BPC ‘’LIJEVA RIJEKA’’. The valve towards the
BPC ‘’DUŠKE’’ is closed. After checking the quality of the water, and if used water is in good
condition, the valve towards the BPC ‘’DUŠKE’’ will be opened.
iii. This procedure will be repeated till the last BPC ‘’VEŽEŠNIK’’ and pipe line from BPC
‘’VEŽEŠNIK’’ to the stationary 0+000 will be disinfected.
iv. At the other part of the Pipe Line, from tank ‘’PODOVI’’ towards Mateševo, the pipe line will be
fulfilled throw the temporary connection added in the manhole 55, at the stationary 29+950, with the air
valve, at the highest point of the pipe line. The section of the pipe line which will be fulfilled with water
start from tank ‘’PODOVI’’ and end at the manhole with the sectional valve, NODE 58, at the stationary
31+580. The volume of the needed water is 116 m³. There is a sledge outlet in a manhole 58 for release
the water in a case if it is in a bad condition or containing particles.
v. After the disinfection and test of the quality of the water, if water is in good conditions, the sectional
valve at manhole 58 will be opened and the water will flood the pipe line to the NODE 65, at the
stationary 35+350, which will be closed. There has to be added 100 m³ of water in order to fulfill that
pipe.
vi. After the proval of the quality of the water, the valve 65 will be opened in order to fulfill pipe line

① The method of installing the PVC communication pipes is the same as is described in the MS of
‘General method of works in Communication system’.
② FRP boxes will have reserved manhole 80cm long every 100m to allow ease of access to all
pipes and cables when installed, this ‘manhole’ is formed by disconnecting the PVC communication
pipes in the pipe box with a space of 80cm. For preventing pipes separation due to mechanical and
temperature oscillations, the 6 PVC pipes will be installed in stagger way in the longitudinal direction,
namely the joints of the 6 pipes will not be at the same cross section. At every 100m manhole pipes will
be secured/attached to FRP box construction using polypropylene or steel strap (remark 2) and strapping
at the beginning and the end of manhole in following way (see Picture 4.6-4)
Picture 4.6-4
③ Make appropriate markings on the positions of the inspection opening (manhole) to accurately
show their positions. The letter M-manhole to the entire width and the entire height of the inspection
opening will be applied. Also, on the bridge concrete guardrail above the manhole, viewed from the side
of the road, an appropriate sign/mark (M-manhole) will be placed to indicate the position of the
inspection opening. (See picture 4.6-5)

④ Small diameter tubes (32mm black pipes) for optic cable installation will be installed in one
piece with maximum length of 500m (length of one black pipes coil), without breaking, all the way
where it is possible due to site conditions. On bridge which is longer than 500m connectors will be used
to join 2 tubes to extend the length. For their installation it will be used standard push-through technique,
with one worker at every manhole helping and forwarding small pipes in right big 110mm pipe. (See
Picture 4.6-6)

(7) Closing the boxes
The closure of the box is done in parallel with the installation of 110mm communication tubes in
such a way that each cover is attached to a FRP box with 3 screws. In the places provided for the
manhole revision, the lid is cut in following way - 80cm manhole - 1m lid, see Figure 7.2.2, in order to
dismantle only part of the lid above it when accessing the manhole. The cut-out parts of the lid will be

When storing over a longer period, the whole Expansion Joint should be covered with suitable
canvas covers to protect the joint from the environment and damage. However, attention should be
paid to ensuring sufficient ventilation, in order to avoid condensation from air humidity and corrosion
of exposed surfaces.
(3) Installation
TENSA®MODULAR (types LR among the rest) Expansion Joints provide a safe driving surface
for traffic while offering exceptional flexibility by dividing the structure’s movement gap into a
number of smaller gaps, separated by steel centre beams (also known as lamella beams). These
individual gaps are spanned by rubber seals which make the joint 100% watertight. The centre beams
are supported by cross beams (also known as support bars), which span the bridge gap.
The installation of TENSA®MODULAR modular Expansion Joints is described below on the
basis of joints which are connected to the main structure by concreting.
Reinforcement that interferes with the installation of the Expansion Joint must be bent away
sufficiently to make space.
Reinforcement may only be removed or modified in consultation with the responsible bridge
engineer.
It should be ensured that adequate space will remain after the joint has been positioned to allow
concrete to be placed, filling the space between the joint and the concrete deck.
The recess must be thoroughly cleaned. All loose material must be removed, e.g. using
compressed air.

Shuttering projecting at least mm over the edge / Zatvaranje/Poklapanje najmanje 100mm preko ivice
(7) Concreting
Prior to concreting, the position of the joint must be checked once again, and the pouring of
concrete must be approved by the responsible engineer. The recess must be thoroughly saturated with
water in advance of concreting to prevent too much water being lost from the fresh concrete.
When all is prepared and confirmed, concrete can be poured. Sufficient vibration of the concrete
must be ensured (filling all voids, without disturbing the shuttering).
The fixing devices can be removed after concrete pouring is finished.
The space beneath the cross beam (support bar) must be completely filled with concrete. This
ensures that traffic loads are safely transmitted into the structure.
Fresh concrete should be protected and kept damp until it has fully cured in order to avoid
cracking at this critical stage.
(8) Installation of cover plates
In general, the fixed side of the cover plate should be located at the superstructure side and the

⑥ The process of installing layer AB 16sA
1). Introduction
After finishing and approval of waterproofing layer, approval of initial job mix and confirmed job
mix as confirmed method of production and installation technology, Contractor can begin to produce
AB 16sA.
2) The protective layer of waterproofing
The protective layer of waterproofing is applied on a completely dry and completely hardened
Bond Coat 3 layer (serves as a bond between the waterproofing and the asphalt). Installation of AB 16
sA asphalt concrete layer will be carried out with a wheeled paver. The tires of the pavers and asphalt
delivery vehicles must be cleaned regularly before driving on Bond Coat 3. The stationary vehicles on
the bonding layer should be avoided.
For transporting are used appropriate vehicles, with back tipping and with tarpaulin protection for
bituminous mixture from rain, cooling and dust. Before loading, internal surface (sides and bottom)
from steel caissons must be sprayed with appropriate agent (potassium soap) against gluing which does
not work harmful on bituminous mixture.
Depending of designed quantities for daily installation, sufficient number of driving units, in
order to secure continuous work of paver and other mechanization, will be operating.
Asphalt temperature is measured on every delivery truck of delivered asphalt and laid asphalt
right behind the paver. The asphalt temperature which is being installed on Bond Coat 3 drops rapidly
because it is installed on a cooler substrate, and therefore it will be ensured that the asphalt temperature
does not fall below the technological installation temperature for the mixture.
Every delivered truck has its delivery note with all necessary information about mixture (time of

mixing and arrival to the site, temperature of mixing, type of mixture, quantity)
If it happens any kind of stoppage in mixture transport, or in production so that the temperature
falls under minimum (130°C), installation will be stopped. On the parts where it comes to hitch, it is
necessary to install suitable working joint, but the joint in general should be minimized.
In order to meet projected height of protective layer, on waterproofing shall be on each 10 m
marked thickness of protective layer next to Concrete safety Barrier, and at the junction ofthe
trainandthe emergency lane.
If there are irregularities on the concrete slab of the bridge and on the waterproofing layer, the
protective layer of waterproofing will have a variable height.
3) Leveling layer
Before any other works, detailed geodetic surveys of the finished waterproofing layer must be
performed in order to record potential recesses in relation to the designed elevation.
If it is determined that there are recesses where the thickness of the protective layer of
waterproofing would exceed the allowed 6 cm (technological thickness of the layer AB 16sA allowed),
a leveling layer needs to be done.
The quality and characteristics of the leveling layer shall be defined in relation to the required
thickness of the leveling layer, in accordance with the applicable standards and in agreement with the
Supervisory Engineer.
Marking of fixed points is done, from which the asphalt layer can be safely carried out as
leveling. The asphalt for leveling is performed by a wheeled paver. The surfaces of the leveling layer
will be sprayed with 0.5 kg / m² polymer cationic emulsion for a minimum of 12 hours before the
protective layer is installed.
4) Over width
Over width of the various asphalt layers according to main design are given in Main Design of
Pavement structure, Book BBC000TR000GL04.
Before continuing to install it is necessary to coat surface of work joint with bituminous emulsion
(polymer cationic unstable bitumen emulsion PmB KN 60) (minimum quantity 0,5kg/m2), and area of
work joint indirectly heat up with heaters. The coating is performed in 15cm width on the joint area
and on slope of external layer. Coating is also performed before starting of works on longitudinal
joints.
Over width in horizontal curves will be done according to drawings from Main design. It shall be
marked on previous layer, before installing asphalt layer.
On the parts that are not available to the rollers (on the extensions, manhole covers, etc.),
compaction will be done using manual tools.

Note:
The following conclusions from the meeting held on 23.07.2020 are:
i. On bridges were survey report shows that surface of span structure is larger than +1cm we wil
perform cutting of surface in order to achieve maximum +1cm deviation;
ii. Thickness of levelling layer of asphalt AB16sA doesn't have to be in accordance with previously
agreed tolerances for asphalt (5%). Minimal thickness of levelling layer of asphalt AB16sA should be 4
cm.
iii. If shows that on some parts we can't have appropriate compaction of first levelling layer of
asphalt AB16sA in accordance with standard, on those places we would first install levelling layer of
asphalt AB8SA and above it designed levelling layer of asphalt AB16sA which will be confirmed by
trial section.

Pedestrian Guardrail with 6m of length, there are also several special types considering the existing
bridge Expansion Joint at the beginning and the end of the bridge, and considering the total length on
which the guardrail is installed, all in accordance with Working Drawings.
There is no welding works on site. On site only drilling of holes for anchors is performed, and
anchors and nuts are installed.
The steel plate already has holes for anchors made in factory. All the elements must be welded in
factory, and all the elements must be galvanized before being delivered to construction site.
Specification of all galvanized elements must meet the standard EN ISO 1461.
Prior to concrete works for Edge Beam, there are the holes left in formwork, in which the
Pedestrian Guardrail poles will be anchored subsequently.
The steel plate is 'lowered' for 2cm comparing to the designed position, and for that purpose three
rebars of longitudinal reinforcement Ø10mm in the upper zone of Edge Beam concrete are 'lowered'
for 4cm along the Edge Beam, in order to avoid the cutting of rebars at that location.
For grouting of anchor holes “MULTIFIX USF” is in use. The holes for guardrail poles are later
on filled with epoxy-mortar.
Concrete cover layer at the top edge of Edge Beam is 4.0cm. The anchoring details are given in
the relevant Working Drawings.
