| Abstract: |
Increases in traffic loads led to extensive fatigue damages to existing orthotropic steel roadway slabs. Reinforced concrete slabs are less susceptible to fatigue but considerably heavier. With the so-called ortho-composite-slab a light and robust construction is developed as an alternative to ex- isting construction methods for bridge decks. The experimental test program planned within the framework of the AiF-FOSTA research project P 1265 [1] is used to determine the load-bearing and fatigue behavior of ortho-composite-slabs with composite dowel strips. The following article pre- sents the construction and the experimental test program. |
