<p>This paper presents the basic principles for strengthening of bridges and other structures through the use of external prestressing. A case study that includes strengthening of the approach spans for the Langeland Bridge in the south-eastern part of Denmark is included.</p><p>During a recent rehabilitation, corrosion of the post-tensioned tendons was discovered inside the box girders of the bridge. Additional analysis of the extent of the corrosion and a structural assessment was undertaken. Based on this, a strengthening project was carried out, and strengthening with external prestressing is currently being implemented.</p>

With a small cross section, a light deadweight and a convenient replaceable tendon, externally prestressed bridges have many special traits compared with other bridges. With a practical case, this paper analyzes the design of externally prestressed steel box girder bridges, which contains the bridge span, beam construction, externally prestressed layout, substructure and construction programs. Through economic, social analysis, discusses the prospects for the application of external prestressing structure .

Prestressed box-girder bridges have been applied in modern bridges widely as the perfect structural performance, the design method and calculation theory of prestressed box-girder bridges have been relatively perfect. The self-weight of box-girder bridges is reduced during the process of development from concrete structure to composite structure. The prestressed efficiency and the economy are also improved, simultaneously. But up to now, the quantitative research of the effect on efficiency of external prestressing to box-girder bridge with different styles of webs is lack. This paper illustrates the effect on efficiency of external prestressing and economy to box-girder bridge with different styles of webs. The results show that the box-girder bridge with corrugated steel webs has the highest prestressed efficiency and the lowest life cycle cost and the best economy.
