Joints are always the focus of the precast structure for accelerated bridge construction. In this paper, a girder-to-girder joint suitable for steel-ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) lightweight composite bridge (LWCB) is proposed. Two flexural tests were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed T-shaped girder-to-girder joint. The test results indicated that: (1) The T-shaped joint has a better cracking resistance than the traditional I-shaped joint; (2) The weak interfaces of the T-shaped joint are set in the areas with relatively lower negative bending moment, and thus the cracking risk could be decreased drastically; (3) The natural curing scheme for the joint is feasible, and the reinforcement has a very large inhibitory effect on the UHPC material shrinkage; The joint interface is the weak region of the LWCB, which requires careful consideration in future designs. Based on the experimental test results, the design and calculation methods for the deflection, crack width, and ultimate flexural capacity in the negative moment region of LWCB were presented.

<p>The application of high performance concrete has been increasingly concerned in the negative flexural region of steel‐concrete continuous composite girder because of its favorable tensile performance. However, the unclear cyclic and ultimate performance of a high performance concrete composite girder results to the problems which hinder the further application. In this case, a series of fatigue negative bending tests on HPC composite girders and fatigue push‐out tests on stud connectors in HPC were executed. The test results showed that the fatigue slip in the HPC composite girder was smaller than the normal concrete composite girder, and the fatigue life of stud in HPC was longer than the one in normal concrete. Meanwhile, according to the comparison between the stud fatigue live evaluations and test results, the AASHTO‐based evaluations were comparatively with larger safety redundancy, and JSCE was close to the test results but had smaller safety redundancy.</p>

Practical Feasibility

In collaboration with FHWA, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has successfully completed its first experimental high-performance concrete pavement (HPCP) project under the Testing and Evaluation Program (TE-30). This project is one of the 22 projects funded under the TE-30 Program. With a structural design life of 60 years, this HPCP is unique in that it incorporates significant changes to the existing Mn/DOT specifications on concrete materials. Some of the new materials-related specifications developed as a part of this project are based on performance criteria that influence long-term durability of the pavement structure. The background and considerations for selecting the new performance measures are discussed, and test results are presented that evaluate the practical feasibility of establishing and achieving the performance specifications.

Steel-concrete composite bridge towers have the advantages of steel and concrete, they have a good prospect in bridge engineering. However, the applications and related researches of composite bridge towers in China are rare. Therefore, in this article, two types of steel-high performance concrete composite bridge tower and pier models, which had none and one row of longitudinal stud connectors, were designed. The axial compression tests were practiced on the two specimens, in order to study the influence of connectors on the mechanical properties of the composite bridge towers and piers. From the tests, the ultimate bearing capacity and failure mode were obtained, and the regularities of strains and deformations were also analyzed. The results show that setting up stud connectors on the composite towers and piers can improve the ductility and the ultimate bearing capacity obviously.

Purpose This study aims to focus on the resistance to elevated temperatures of up to 700ºC of high-performance concrete (HPC) compared to ordinary Portland concrete (OPC) with regards to mass loss and residual compressive and flexural strength. Design/methodology/approach Two mixtures were developed to test. The first mixture, OPC, was used as the control, and the second mixture was HPC. After 28 days under water (per Chinese standard), the samples were tested for compressive strength and residual strength. Findings The test results showed that at elevated temperatures of up to 500ºC, each mixture experienced mass loss. Below this temperature, the strength and the mass loss did not differ greatly. Originality/value When adding a 10 per cent silica fume, 25 per cent fly, 25 per cent slag to HPC, the compressive strength increased by 17 per cent and enhanced the residual compressive strength. A sharp decrease was observed in the residual flexural strength of HPC when compared to OPC after exposure to temperatures of 700ºC.

Static load tests were conducted on two reversed-loading simply supported and two continuous outer-plated steel-concrete composite beams to study the formation and development of cracks in such beams under negative bending moment. The test results show that based on the plane section assumption, it is an effective and economical method to calculate the cracking moment of the composite beams assuming a rectangular stress block for concrete in tension zone. Considering the structural features of outer-plated steel-concrete composite beams, the formula for calculating crack width of concrete flange of outer-plated steel-concrete composite beams is discussed and presented, and the calculated values of crack width agree well with the experimental results.

Based on the theoretical analysis of steel-concrete composite П-beam’s lateral buckling, the computing model and simplified computing model on the stability of composite П-beams are brought forward. According to above two models, composite beam’s lateral buckling is studied in negative moment regions using the energy method, and the formulas which are used to calculate critical bending moment in negative moment regions in the elastic stage are deduced. Compared with other stability theories and methods, this paper represents the design correction and suggestion about the stability of composite П-beam in negative bending regions. Moreover, the simplified calculation method, which is used to compute the lateral critical buckling moment of steel-concrete composite П-beam loaded by equal-end moment, not only simplifies the computing process, the computing results also have the equivalent accuracy with numerical computing methods.

Live Load Test

For its significant economical savings and greater design flexibility, high-performance concrete (HPC) is becoming more widely used in highway bridge structures. High-performance bridges with HPC and large-diameter prestressed strands are becoming attractive to designers. Bridge A6130 is the first fully HPC superstructure bridge in Missouri. The bridge has HPC cast-in-place deck and high-strength concrete girders reinforced with 15.2-mm (0.6-in.) diameter strands. The bridge was instrumented with embedded strain gauges and thermocouples to monitor the early-age and later-age behavior of the structures from construction through service. To investigate the overall behavior of the bridge under live load, a static live-load test was developed and carried out. During the live-load test, 64 embedded vibrating wire strain gauges and 14 embedded electrical-resistance strain gauges were used to acquire the changing strain rate in the bridge caused by the varying live-load conditions. Girder deflections and rotations were also recorded with external sensors and a data acquisition system. Based on the test results, the load distribution to the girders was studied. The AASHTO specifications live-load distribution factor recommended for design was compared with the measured value and found to be overly conservative. The AASHTO load and resistance factor design live-load distribution factors recommended for design were found to be comparable to measured values. Two finite element models were developed with ANSYS and compared with measured values to investigate the continuity level of the Missouri Department of Transportation interior bent detail.

Based on the theoretical analysis and testing results, some key issues in design of outer-plated steel-concrete continuous composite beams are discussed. The influence of the form of steel beam upper flange on the behavior of composite beam is analyzed. The requirements about longitudinal reinforcement strength in the concrete flange of the negative moment region are given. It is suggested that the moment-shear interaction should be neglected when calculating the flexural capacity of outer-plated steel-concrete composite beams under negative bending moment. The behavior of longitudinal shear resistance at the interface between the concrete flange and web of composite beam is studied, and the related calculating formula is put forward based on the structural features of the composite beam.
