Abstrakt:

Experiments are being performed on a 0.4 scale model of a steel girder bridge superstructure with a reinforced concrete deck to investigate means of improving the seismic performance of typical slab and girder bridges. During the early stages of experimentation, the need to understand the influence of composite action became apparent. Accordingly, an analytical study was undertaken. The first of several finite element analyses on a typical continuous four-span, four-girder bridge model assumed shear studs along the entire length of the bridge to provide full composite action. A second model omitted the shear connectors in the negative moment regions, a common design practice to avoid fatigue concerns in the top flange. It was found that the shear connectors in the fully composite model were sufficient to ensure composite action when subjected to transverse loading and provided an adequate load path through the superstructure and into the substructure. However, the lack of shear connectors in the negative moment regions caused the load to be transferred into the steel girders at the points of contraflexure, resulting in damage to these girders and inadequate formation of the ultimate limit state in the columns. The lack of composite action was also found to change the distribution of transverse shear forces in the cross frames, which is important for design of the end cross frames. Making the top chord of the cross frames composite with the deck, at the column bent locations, proved effective in minimizing damage to the superstructure.
