INVESTIGATION OF BRIDGE DECKS WITH CONCRETE ENCASED GIRDERS. STATIC TESTS ON EXPERIMENTAL DECK NO. 6

The sixth experimental model deck differed from its forerunners as it consisted of five beams clamped by transverse pre-stressing. Steel was concentrated in the lowest position as in the fifth model. Frictional bonding and load distribution was studied with varying numbers of pre-stressing rods and various load positions, before testing to failure. Results are given corresponding with deflection limits and permissible steel stress.
