EPOXY BONDED COMPOSITE T-BEAMS FOR HIGHWAY BRIDGES
THE REPORT SUMMARIZES THE RESULTS OF FOUR YEARS OF RESEARCH ON THE USE OF EPOXY-RESIN FORMULATIONS AS SHEAR CONNECTORS IN STEEL AND CONCRETE T-BEAMS. A SPECIFIC FORMULATION IS PRESENTED AND THE ESSENTIAL ITEMS OF THE APPLICATION TECHNIQUES ARE DESCRIBED. A MATHEMATICAL STUDY WHICH FULLY DESCRIBES THE WORKING LIMITS OF THE EPOXY SHEAR CONNECTOR AND VERIFIES THE VALIDITY OF ELEMENTARY BEAM THEORY FOR ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, IS ADDED. RESULTS OF T-BEAM TESTS ARE SHOWN WHICH GIVE THE ULTIMATE LOAD CAPACITIES OF THE SHEAR CONNECTOR. THIS INFORMATION IS THEN COMPILED WITH DATA FROM PAST WORK TO ARRIVE AT A SAFE DESIGN SHEARING STRESS FOR THE EPOXY SHEAR CONNECTOR. DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR COMPOSITE T-BEAMS WHICH USE AN EPOXY-RESIN SHEAR CONNECTOR ARE PRESENTED AS A MODIFICATION TO THE 1965 AASHO SPECIFICATIONS ON COMPOSITE GIRDERS. /BPR/
