BEHAVIOR OF ISOTROPIC R/C BRIDGE DECKS ON STEEL GIRDERS

A study is reported wich investigated the pre- and post-fatigue behavior of cast-in-place (CIP) and precast panel decks under service load and overload conditions, and developed analytical models of CIP and precast panel decks; the models were then tested against the observed behavior of a full-scale bridge. The study also used the models to conduct parameteric studies involving one bridge design feature (diaphragm spacing). An experimental and analytical assessment was made of the significance of compressive membrane action in a real bridge deck at service load and overload levels. This paper presents and discusses the static tests at service load and overload levels, and campares them with analytical predictions.
