The fatigue behaviour of a novel precast hybrid bridge truss girder system is experimentally investigated. The girders consist of pretensioned top and bottom concrete chords connected by vertical and diagonal truss members made of concrete-filled fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes. The truss members are connected to the top and bottom chords by means of long double-headed glass FRP (GFRP) bars. The chords are also reinforced with GFRP longitudinal bars and transverse stirrups. Six large-scale truss girders were fabricated and tested. All girders had identical cross-section dimensions with 1.32 m overall depth. Three of the girders were 2.83 m in length. The remaining three were 9.82 m long. One short and one long girder were tested under static loading up to failure. The remaining four girders were tested under cyclic fatigue loading of different levels and amplitudes. The tests showed excellent performance of the truss girders in terms of strength, stiffness, and fatigue life. |
