ABNORMAL LOADING OF COMPOSITE SLAB BRIDGES (2) TESTS ON A BRIDGE WITH SOME TRANSVERSE REINFORCEMENT

摘要

Tests on the second of a series of composite slab bridges are described and the results analysed. The bridge incorporated precast prestressed inverted T-beams, in situ concrete, and mild-steel transverse reinforcement.nThe bridge behaved satisfactorily under both the design and ultimate loading conditions for abnormal loading, provided that the individual beams were designed on the basis of the Ministry of Transport increased standard loading.
