The results of analytical and experimental studies of composite construction for I-beam highway bridges are presented in this paper. Comparative design studies were made to determine the savings in weight possible from the use of the following types of composite beams: Rolled wide-flange beams, rolled beams with welded cover plates, welded built-up beams, beams consisting of two structural T-sections welded together, and rolled unsymmetrical beams. The savings in weight as compared to noncomposite construction ranged from 8% for the ordinary rolled beams to 30% or more for welded built-up beams.
