Abstract
Most of the bridge systems, including the girders, cross-beams, and concrete decks behave as specially orthotropic plates. In general, the analytical solution for such complex system is very difficult to obtain. In this paper presented, a design method of slab bridge of simple supported made by composite materials. For the design of bridge made by the composite materials, cross-section was used the form-core shape because of this shape is economical and profitable, and for output of the stress value used finite difference method. In this paper, the rate of tensile strength reduction due to increased size was considered. Strength-failure analysis procedure, using the reduced tensile strength, was presented. And also numerical study was made for these cases.
