Behavior of a CFT Truss Girder with Precast Decks under Negative Bending Moment

For the fast construction of bridges, it is necessary to design bridges as light and modular superstructures. For this purpose, a new composite bridge constructed by segmental method is suggested, which consists of concrete filled steel tubular girders and prefabricated concrete decks. This paper presents a study of the structural behavior of the proposed concrete filled tube (CFT) truss girder at a continuous under negative bending moment. A numerical analysis is performed to verify the structural behaviors of CFT truss girder in continuous support. Based on the results of a numerical analysis, a model with a continuous composite member shape is fabricated and static tests are conducted.
