A new-type of FRP-concrete composite bridge deck system is proposed and its behaviors are experimentally studied. The new-typedeck consists of FRP as a permanent form and main tension resisting member and concrete as a compression resisting member. A suitable bonding method such as silica coating is applied to the interface between FRP and concrete to ensure composite behavior. The proposed deck system uses the box-shape FRP member, while a typical FRP-concrete composite deck uses the I-shape FRP member. Theproposed deck system has inherent advantages of a FRP-concrete composite deck like corrosion free and easy construction. The new-type deck shows the equal performances compared to a previous one, and has the advantage of reducing self-weight. In this study, the static tests on 3-span FRP-concrete decks in full scale are carried out, so that load-displacement relation, stress distribution, failure mode and design criteria are analyzed. The test results show that the deflection design criterion (L/800, L: span length) is satisfied at the service load state. No concrete tensile crack occurs in the negative moment region above the main girder, regardless of no tensile reinforcement at upper concrete portion.

In this study, to develop composite bridge deck of many advantages such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and high durability, profile design, laminate design and finite element analysis were carried out. In the analysis, 5-girder single span bridge with composite deck was considered. Deflection serviceability, failure criteria and web buckling were evaluated. Composite deck of designed profile was fabricated with pultrusion process. The coupon tests were conducted for the fabricated deck and the results were described.

The panels are used as a composite part of the completed deck. They replace the main bottom transverse deck reinforcement and also serve as a form surface for the cast-in-place concrete upper layer that contains the top of deck reinforcement. Research has also demonstrated that mechanical shear ties on the top of the panels are required. In a composite deck with precast panels, it is required to notice behavior of transverse joints between panels. In this paper, static tests of composite deck with shear ties and loop joints were conducted. From the results, the validity of loop joints for continuity of deck was observed. Also, a composite behavior was abserved between precast panel and slab concrete. Tested composite decks with shear ties have 140~164% ultimate strength than have no shear ties due to the increase of composite action. Therefore, the shear ties between the slabs were sufficient to enforce composite flexural behavior to failure.

Glass fiber reinforced composite decks have high-strength, light-weight and high durability. The composite decks having vertical snap-fit connections are designed for pedestrian bridges and their structural behavior are studied. Especially in this paper, local behavior of the developed composite deck for pedestrian bridge is verified by both analysis and experiment.

Since glass-fiber reinforced composite decks have high-strength, light-weight and high durability, many researchs on the composite decks for bridges are currently performed and many composite decks are developed. In this paper, a composite deck with snap-fit connection for pedestrian bridge is developed and studied. A study on behavior of snap-fit connection of composite deck for pedestrian bridge during assembling or disassembling is performed by analysis and experiment.

Cold-formed deck sections are used in many composite floor slab applications wherein the steel deck serves not only as the form for the concrete during construction but also as the principal tensile reinforcement for the bottom fiber of the composite slab. This paper provides the results of an experimental study performed for the composite slabs with the new shaped deck plates with the locking ribs, the dove tails, and the powerful embossment, which are the mechanical means to improve positive interlocking effect between the deck and the concrete. A total of 28 specimens are tested to investigate the composite effects between the concrete and metal deck plate. Important parameters in this are the span length, the thickness of the deck plate, support condition, and whether shear studs are placed at each support or not. The test results are summarized for the maximum load and failure behavior for the specimens.

Recent days composite bridge deck is gaining attraction due to many advantages such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and high durability. In this study, composite sandwich deck models of hat, box, and triangular section type were fabricated by VARTM process. For those models, three point flexural test was carried out both in strong and weak axis. The experimental results are compared with each other to determine efficient section type. Also finite element analysis was performed to verify analysis model. It is demonstrated that the results of numerical analysis agree well with experimental results.

This paper presents a 3D nonlinear analysis with slip in steel-concrete hybrid deck. In this study, it was founded that the limit slip modulus could classify the states of steel-concrete hybrid deck into three parts as full-composite, partial-composite, and non-composite, considering the longitudinal behavior and end-slip as well as the yield load and ultimate load of it. Also, it proved that the stress of lower steel plate at the support was increased, because of frictional forces by reaction forces in the steel-concrete hybrid deck. The end-slip did not occur near the full-composite state, but it was largely increased as the slip modulus decreased. On the basis of the EC 4, the state of steel-concrete hybrid deck classified into brittle behavior and ductile one using the end-slip of it

Owing to its special features of light weight, high durability, corrosion-resistant, composite material used in civil infrastructure can not only solve fundamental problems of deterioration and corrosion, but also reduce both construction and maintenance cost significantly. Composite deck panels of 스냅핏 type connection previously designed and fabricated have been redesigned herein. The sensitivity of gaps between snap-fits and tip angles was investigated. Stacking sequence of plies was scrutinized in order to facilitate pultrusion process. Deck panels of redesigned configuration due to bending has been analyzed. A comparison between the preliminary and modified deck design has been made.
