Flexural Testing of Precast Bridge Deck Panel Connections
Precast deck panels are increasingly being utilized to reduce construction times and traffic delays as many departments of transportation (DOTs) emphasize accelerated bridge construction. Despite the short-term benefits, the connections between panels have a history of service failure. This research focused on the evaluation of the service and ultimate capacities of five precast deck panel connections. Full-scale tests were developed to determine the cracking and ultimate flexural strengths of two welded connections, a conventionally posttensioned connection, and two newly proposed, posttensioned, curved bolt connections. The conventionally posttensioned specimens were shown to perform well with the highest cracking loads and 0.42 times the theoretical capacity of a continuously reinforced concrete deck panel. The proposed curved bolt connections were shown to be a promising connection detail with approximately 0.5 times the theoretical capacity of a continuously reinforced panel. Data from the welded specimens showed that some welded connection types perform significantly better than others. The experimental results also compared closely with values calculated on the basis of finite-element modeling, which can be used for future analytical studies.
