Fatigue and Strength Performance of Concrete-Filled Steel-Grid Bridge Deck
Publication: Journal of Bridge Engineering
Volume 9, Issue 5
Abstract
The present paper reports on the results from a series of full-scale experimental tests carried out on concrete-filled steel-grid bridge deck assemblies. The testing focused on assessing the fatigue performance and ultimate strength response of a full-depth-overfilled concrete-filled steel-grid deck configuration. The results from the experimental testing program described herein are compared with the predicted deck responses as per the current AASHTO provisions contained in the LRFD and 16th edition specifications.
