Abstract

Deck bridges with encased steel beams are commonly used for short-spans bridge structures. This type of bridge structures minimizes steel consumption without significantly affecting the overall resistance of the structure [1 and 2]. The paper presents basic information and partial results from experimental research on composite steel-concrete deck bridges with different types of encased steel beams. The paper also provides an overview about the experimental program, the production process of the tested members, an explanation of the applied load and the measurement of monitored strains and deflections of the tested members.
