Abstract Road bridges with steel arches are used efficiently for medium and large spans. These solutions show advantages determined by the arches geometry, by the number and distributions of hangers and by the form and type of the arches bracing system. The appearance of the welding as standard connection procedure for steel bridges, for road bridge decks two solutions are mainly used: - the solution with a concrete slab acting together with the stringers and cross beams (the composite solution); - the solution with orthotropic deck (the orthotropic deck consists in a network formed by the continuous longitudinal stiffeners and cross beams connected at the upper part by a steel plate). In this paper a comparative study of the strength and fatigue checks performed on the new road bridge over river Argeşel near Mioveni in Argeş county is presented. The results are obtained using the Romanian standards STAS 1844-75 and SR 1911-1998 and the European norms SR EN 1990, SR EN 1993 and SR EN 1994. The deck was designed with two parallel steel arches, which are sustaining through vertical hangers a concrete slab connected with steel girders at the way level. The aim of the paper is to outcome the safety factors obtained from checks performed on steel hangers using the Romanian standards with respect with those obtained using Eurocodes.

The main span of the four-lane highway Mission Bridge is 440 ft (134.1 m) long with 290 ft (88.4 m) flanking spans, and consists of a steel box girder with an orthotropic steel plate deck. A box girder was adopted due to the structural efficiency of the box section and advantages in using thin plate material. The design is based on CSA Standard S6-1966 and the AISC Design Manual for Orthotropic Steel Plate Deck Bridges as far as applicable and with some deviations. The design was reviewed subsequent to the failure of steel box girder bridges abroad. The strength of the bottom plate in compression and the transverse bolted joints in compression received special attention. The joints of the deck plate made in the field are welded.In the fabrication and erection of the bridge, advantage was taken of the marine location of the fabrication yard. Special erection equipment was developed for the job. A key element in the scheme was ease with which the erection crane scow could be positioned.The application of the hot asphaltic concrete paving caused considerable thermal expansion of the steel structure.The cost of the steel superstructure was about the same as was estimated for a concrete superstructure. However, site conditions were such that the weight of the concrete structure would have increased the foundation costs.

Steel plate-light weight concrete hollow composite deck was a type of novel composite deck which composed of steel plate, perforbond ribs connectors (PBL connectors) and light weight concrete and steel pipe. In order to understand the hollow composite decks mechanical performance, Static experiments of five specimens of this hollow composite slabs were conducted, among which two specimens were composed with longitudinal steel pipes and three specimens were composed with transversal steel pipe, with the aim to study the difference of the mechanical behaviors of the composite decks at the two orthogonal directions. Based on the experiment results, the effects of the direction of steel pips and the nominal shear-span of the slabs on the composite decks mechanical performance were especially studied. During the experiment process, the failure modes, strains of concrete and steel plate, cracking type, slippage of interface and the bearing capacity of the decks were studied in detail. From the experimental study, it could be found that there were no slippage between the steel plate and concrete were measured at the composite bridge decks, and the composite bridge decks showed high flexural rigidity, good ductility as well as better bearing capacity with the strength of bottom steel plate and top concrete both fully utilized. Therefore, it could be concluded that this type of composite bridge decks have good advantages at mechanical behaviors.
