Factors Affecting the Design Thickness of Bridge Slabs

J. C. Graddy / N. H. Burns / R. E. Klingner

An experimental investigation was conducted into the punching shear fatigue behavior of bridge decks, including the effects of arching action. Static and pulsating fatigue tests were performed on both cast-in-place (CIP) and precast prestressed panel (PCP) test specimens. S-N curves suitable for pulsating and rolling fatigue design and assessment purposes were developed and are included in this report. Finite element analytical models were used to develop test specimens that would reflect the actual behavior of bridge decks, and to apply the test results to real bridges. Both a full bridge and test specimens were modeled; this process included an sequence of linear elastic analyses to model a fully cracked state. Results from the finite element analyses agreed well with experimental test results of this research.
