Longitudinal Compression-bending Performance of Orthotropic Steel-concrete Composite Bridge Deck

To prevent fatigue cracking of traditional orthotropic steel bridge decks and damage to asphalt pavement, experimental investigation and theoretical analysis were conducted on orthotropic steel-concrete composite bridge decks, which are expected to be applied in long-span bridges. To investigate the compression-bending performance of orthotropic steel-concrete composite bridge decks utilized in composite girder cable-stayed bridges, six single-point-loaded, simply supported orthotropic steel-concrete composite decks with varying axial compressive forces and concrete grades were designed and tested. The influence of axial compressive forces and concrete grades on the flexural capacity, ductility, and plastic development of the specimens were analyzed. Moreover, a formula for calculating the plastic flexural capacity considering the influence of axial compressive force was deduced. The test results show that the final failure modes of all specimens are transverse cracking of the lower concrete and crushing of the upper concrete at the midspan. Axial compression has a negligible effect on the initial elastic flexural stiffness, but it considerably lowers the ductility and plastic development of orthotropic steel-concrete composite decks under vertical load. The flexural capacity of the specimens does not exhibit a decreasing trend with increasing axial compressive force; this may be caused by the initial eccentricity of the axial compressive force. Improving the concrete grade from C60 to C80 does not appreciably enhance the elastic stiffness, flexural capacity, ductility, or plastic development of orthotropic steel-concrete composite decks. In addition, the proposed formula for calculating the plastic flexural capacity is highly accurate and could provide technical support for engineering applications.
