Longitudinal Slab Splitting in Composite Girders
Longitudinal slab splitting in composite hot rolled girders and joist girders was investigated. Two different type of framing configurations were studied with two tests conducted per configuration. The framing configurations were designated as either flush-framed or haunched, which describes the …

Finite element modelling of shear connection for steel-concrete composite girders
… the behaviour of headed stud shear connectors in composite girders with solid slabs and precast hollow core slabs. The finite element package ABAQUS was used to conduct the analysis. Push-off tests with both types of slabs were simulated taking into consideration all material nonlinearities of the …

Evaluation of the In-Servic Performance of the Tom's Creek Bridge
… the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite girders as the main load carrying members. The project is intended to serve two purposes. First, by calculating bridge design parameters such as the dynamic load allowance, transverse wheel load distribution and deflections under service …

Investigation of Transfer Length, Development Length, Flexural Strength and Prestress Loss Trend in Fully Bonded High Strength Lightweight Prestressed Girders
… performance of high performance normal weight composite girders, Virginia Department of Transportation has sought to exploit the use of high strength lightweight composite concrete (HSLWC) girders to achieve economies brought about by the reduction of dead loads in bridges. Transfer Length …

Fatigue and static behaviour of post-tensioned steel-concrete composite beams
Strengthening steel and concrete composite (SCC) bridge superstructures using post-tensioned steel tendons offers many advantages. Since bridge structures are usually exposed to fatigue cycles, understanding the fatigue behavior of strengthened composite beams is vital. Also, bridges in practice …

Composite Multi-Story Rigid Frames Under Gravity and Lateral Loads.
… the design of a 12-story rigid frame bent with composite girders when horizontal loads produce the maximum forces for which the girders must be designed. Using an asymmetrical rigid frame with column spacings of 22' and 28', it was found that a decrease in frame weight of slightly greater than …

Long-term In-service Evaluation of Two Bridges Designed with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Girders
… to design two bridges with simply-supported FRP composite structural beams. The Toms Creek Bridge, located in Blacksburg, Virginia, has been in service for six years. Meanwhile, the Route 601 Bridge, located in Sugar Grove, Virginia, has been in service for two years. Researchers have conducted …
