Nišava River Bridge Rehabilitation Guide

This document summarizes the rehabilitation of the Nišava River Bridge in Yugoslavia using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates from Sika. The bridge, built in 1959-1960, was showing signs of insufficient flexural strength from increased traffic loads. Sika Romania provided over 3,000 meters of prestressed and non-prestressed CFRP plates to strengthen the bridge deck and increase its load-carrying capacity. The rehabilitation project was completed from July to October 2001 to extend the service life of the aging concrete bridge.
