This paper deals with the slab concreting sequence and its influence on a composite steel and concrete continuous highway girder bridge. The bridge has a symmetrical composite two-girder structure with three spans of 60 m, 80 m, 60 m (i.e. a total length between abutments of 200.0 m). The horizontal alignment is straight. The top face of the deck is flat. The bridge is straight. The transverse cross-section of the slab is symmetrical with respect to the axis of the bridge. The total slab width is 12 m. The slab thickness varies from 0.4 m on main girders to 0.25 m at its free edges and 0.3075 m at its axis of symmetry. The center-to-center spacing between main girders is 7 m and the slab cantilever on either side is 2.5 m long. Every main girder has a constant depth of 2800 mm and the thicknesses of the upper and lower flanges are variable. The lower flange is 1200 mm wide whereas the upper flange is 1000 mm wide. The two main girders have transverse bracing at abutments and at internal supports and at regular intervals in every span. The material of concrete slab is C35/45 and of steel members S355. The on-site pouring of the concrete slab segments is performed by casting them in a selected order and is done after the launching of the steel two girder bridge. The paper presents several concreting sequences and their influence on the normal stresses and deflections of the composite bridge girder.

This template Based on cracks observation and finite element analysis of real engineering projects as well as bridge load test after reinforcement, causes and types of cracks in prestressed concrete box girder bridges and treating measurements are systematically studied. The results obtained from the calculation are presented to demonstrate the effect of sensitive factors, such as arrangement of longitudinal prestressed tendons, the magnitude of vertical prestressed force, temperature gradient, etc. The results show that the arrangement of longitudinal prestressed tendons and the magnitude of vertical prestressed force take key roles in cracks control of box girder webs. Lots of treating measurements are presented in accordance with different types of cracks, some of them are applied to a reinforcement engineering of a long span pretressed concrete continuous box girder bridge with cracks. Load test after reinforcement of the bridge demonstrates the reasonability of the treating measurements. Several design recommendations and construction measures about reinforcements and some sensitive factors mentioned above are proposed to control cracks.

In order to research the influence of web’s shear deformation on the deflection of composite girder bridge with corrugated steel webs in construction, the deflection calculation formulae considering shear deformation were deduced, which was to analyze the background engineering of Chuhe bridge deflection in different load conditions when it was in the maximum cantilever state. Finite element method analysis shows that the calculation formulae are credible and applicable, and also comparative study was done with practical measurement. Results show that the proportion of main deflection caused by shear deformation of web may reach 30% ~ 40%, and the deflection caused by shear deformation needs to be considered in the process of construction monitering.

This paper takes a 45+60+45m prestressed concrete continuous box Girder Bridge as background, based on “Specification for Inspection and Evaluation of Load-bearing Capacity of Highway Bridges” (JTG/T J21-2011), single beam model and solid model are built for schematic design of load test. Compare the measured value and the theoretical value, and evaluate the bridge bearing capacity, finally provide technical base for project checking and accepting.
