Abstract:
This report describes the study of lateral distribution factors and control of longitudinal cracking in multi-beam prestressed concrete box girder bridges with composite concrete deck slab. Researchers developed recommended values for lateral distribution factors for 22 different Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) bridge configurations. Formulas and tables for predicting the maximum values of transverse moment in the deck slab from American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) truck loadings are presented. Recommendations for control of longitudinal deck cracking are made.
