ABSTRACT:
To accelerate bridge construction, precast full-depth deck panels (FDDPs) are placed over steel girders with transverse joints. In this paper, a transverse angle-joint is proposed with female shear key and bottom tongue. The joint has projecting glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars from the precast panels and is filled with ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Ultimate static, constant fatigue and variable fatigue load tests were performed under truck wheel footprint showed good results.
