Description
The feasibility of the use of double-tee beams in a bridge system is examined by conducting tests on a 1:3.5 scale model of a two-span transversely and longitudinally post-tensioned continuous double-tee beam system. Constant amplitude fatigue loading was applied on the model at typical locations simulating HS 20-44 AASHTO truck loading. The behavior of the bridge system was evaluated in terms of deflections, wheel load distributions, crack growth and patterns with increasing number of cycles of fatigue loading. A finite element analysis of the bridge system was done using plate and beam elements and results compared with experimental values.
