INVESTIGATION OF BRIDGE DECKS WITH CONCRETE ENCASED GIRDERS. STATIC TESTS ON EXPERIMENTAL BRIDGE DECK NO. 1

Tests are described on a small joist in concrete slab containing encased girders, representing, to reduced size, a type commonly used in bridges, and complying with the UIC recommendations. The test arrangements, applicable to slabs of varying design, are described in detail. The report contains a study of the permissible loads and the safety coefficients, both from the points of view of stiffness and the permissible stresses. It also includes suggestions for improving the loading capacity.
