摘要: |
This report describes the results of an experimental program to evaluate the use of composite materials to prevent and repair distortion-induced fatigue damage in web-gap regions of steel girders. In this method of repair, a composite block is cast in place in the area surrounding the cross frame-to-girder connection to provide an alternate load path and reduce the stress demands in the welds of the connection. Two full-depth bridge girders were subjected to dynamic loading under a constant force range and allowed to develop fatigue cracks. The girders were subsequently repaired using composite blocks and subjected to several million fatigue cycles. |
