ABSTRACT:
A bridge designed to afford enhanced resistance to shearing forces has at least one top chord (1) of concrete and a bottom chord (2) of concrete or of metal connected to each other by means of structural elements designed to resist shearing forces. These structural elements include two pleated or corrugated continuous steel sheets (3, 4) placed on each side of a vertical mid-plane (P) of the bridge. The pleats or corrugations extend in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the length of the bridge.
