INVESTIGATION OF BRIDGE DECKS WITH CONCRETE ENCASED GIRDERS. STATIC TESTS ON EXPERIMENTAL DECKS WITH CONCRETE ENCASED GIRDERS NOS. 4 AND 5

This report consists of two parts: Description and result of the static tests on experimental deck No. 4 (RP 3A). The tested concrete deck had a span of 3.60 m and the same principal dimensions as the bridge deck models tested previously. Steel sheets fastened to the underside, however, resulted in better use being made of the steel, which remained comparable in the cross-sectional area with the girders used in experimental deck No. 1. Description and result of the static tests on experimental deck No. 5 (RP 3B). Steel sheets were fastened to the underside of the experimental deck, the principal dimensions again remaining unchanged. The cross-sectional area of the steel was, in this connection, reduced to attain a total section modulus similar to that of experimental deck No. 1.
