This paper deals with the slab concreting sequence and its influence on a composite steel and concrete continuous highway girder bridge. The bridge has a symmetrical composite two-girder structure with three spans of 60 m, 80 m, 60 m (i.e. a total length between abutments of 200.0 m). The horizontal alignment is straight. The top face of the deck is flat. The bridge is straight. The transverse cross-section of the slab is symmetrical with respect to the axis of the bridge. The total slab width is 12 m. The slab thickness varies from 0.4 m on main girders to 0.25 m at its free edges and 0.3075 m at its axis of symmetry. The center-to-center spacing between main girders is 7 m and the slab cantilever on either side is 2.5 m long. Every main girder has a constant depth of 2800 mm and the thicknesses of the upper and lower flanges are variable. The lower flange is 1200 mm wide whereas the upper flange is 1000 mm wide. The two main girders have transverse bracing at abutments and at internal supports and at regular intervals in every span. The material of concrete slab is C35/45 and of steel members S355. The on-site pouring of the concrete slab segments is performed by casting them in a selected order and is done after the launching of the steel two girder bridge. The paper presents several concreting sequences and their influence on the normal stresses and deflections of the composite bridge girder.

Visual Monitoring System

Recently, in the loading tests for steel members, the deformation value is measured by calculating a distance of both cross-heads. This measuring method encounters a test error due to various environmental factors, such as initial slip, etc.. Especially, in the case of welded members, the non-uniform deformation behavior in welded joints is observed because of the effect of welding residual stress and weld metal. This is mainly responsible for a test error and a loss of the reliability for used test instruments. Therefore, to improve the accuracy and the applicability of measuring system, it is necessary to employ a visual monitoring system which can accurately measure the local and overall deformation of welded members. In this paper, to accurately measure a deformation of welded members, a visual monitoring system (VMS) was developed by using three-dimensional digital photogrammetry. The VMS was applied to the loading tests of a welded member. The accuracy and the applicability of VMS was verified by comparing to the deformation value measured by a test instrument (MTS-810). The characteristics of the behavior near a welded joint were investigated by using VMS.
