Field Studies on Metal-Deck Bracing of Trapezoidal Steel Box-Girder Bridges
This paper presents the results of a series of experimental field tests conducted on a continuous three-span trapezoidal steel box-girder highway bridge during construction. Concentrated loads were applied to the bridge using a construction crane. Permanent metal-deck forms were affixed directly to the top flanges using powder-actuated fasteners. Forces were measured in top-lateral truss bracing before and after application of the metal decking. Measured forces are compared with finite-element predictions using an equivalent flat-plate approximation to model the decking.
