“Versatility is what makes the BEBO System so attractive for a multitude of applications”
CONCRETE BACKFILLED ARCH STRUCTURES
3
The E-Series
• 78 elliptical shapes - spans of
3.6 to 25.5 metres
• single and twin leaf precast
elements
• standard overfill heights of 0.4
to 4.5 metres
• dedicated designs for up to 15
metres of overfill for spans up
to 7.3 metres
• dedicated designs for up to 6.0
metres of overfill for spans over
7.3 metres
• most economical shape for the
majority of applications
The C-Series
• 37 circular shapes - spans of
9.1 to 16.5 metres
• twin leaf precast elements
• standard overfill heights of 0.4
to 6.0 metres
• dedicated designs for up to 12
metres overfill
• optimized high overfill
elements and foundations
The T-Series
• shallow arch shapes: span to rise
ratios up to 10:1
• any span between 7 and 31
metres
• ideal for low overfill applications.

support services is difficult to beat”
BEBO History and Application• BEBO arch development started with the first full size test in Switzerland
in 1965.
• The BEBO arch capitalizes on soil-structure-interaction between the
reinforced concrete arch/foundations and the surrounding fill.
• The first BEBO structures were installed in 1966 and are still in excellent
shape.
• Experience shows that overfilled reinforced
concrete arch bridges are extremely durable
and require little maintenance.
BEBO’s experience over many decades and countless applications instills
confidence.”
