MODEL BRIDGE STUDY. VOLUME I: SUMMARY REPORT. FINAL REPORT

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) jointly conducted a research study at FHWA's structures laboratory entitled "Structural Modeling for Autostress by Loading Through a Precast Deck." The bridge under investigation was a two-span continuous three steel girder 0.4 scale model approximately 113 ft (34.44 m) long. The deck, consisting of transversely pretensioned panels, post-tensioned longitudinally, was composite with the steel girders. This report summarizes the research program.
