OVERLOADING BEHAVIOR OF STEEL MULTIGIRDER HIGHWAY BRIDGES. FINAL REPORT

This report presents the summary of the research program on the prediction of overload response of steel multigirder highway bridges with reinforced concrete deck. The analytical developments and parametric studies were presented in previous technical reports. This report presents the highlights of the observations made in different phases of the research. Recommendations and conclusions based on the overall research program have been enumerated with appropriate referencing to the detailed description of the relevant problem area. An in-depth study of the research program summarized in the report requires close scrutiny of the technical reports referenced herein.
