摘要: |
Previous analytical and experimental work by the authors has determined that integrated shell-deck segments can be used to construct short- or medium-span bridges. This system consisted of integrated shell-deck concrete segments that are post-tensioned together to form a simply supported bridge. A 1:3 scale segmental concrete shell bridge model was tested to failure. The bridge model was subjected to increasing load until failure occurred. Before failure, excessive deflection, cracking, and buckling of some of the steel elements connecting the deck to the shell edge beams were observed. Failure of the model resulted from the formation of excessive diagonal shear cracks in the shell portion of one of the segments. The fabrication and the behavior of the bridge model indicated that shell bridges can be used to construct short- and medium-span segmental bridges. |
