Abstract

In this paper, two sets of comparative fatigue tests on weathering steel-concrete composite girders were carried out in the context of steel-concrete composite girder bridges. The load-deflection relationship of the weathering steel-concrete composite girders under fatigue loading in different environments was investigated contrastively. The experimental results show that under the coupled effect of corrosive environment and fatigue load, the weathering steel still shows obvious corrosion; the simple fatigue load has no significant effect on the stiffness and fatigue modulus of the weathering steel-concrete composite beam, while the coupled effect of corrosive environment and fatigue has a significant weakening effect on the stiffness of the beam, and the weakening of concrete is apparently greater than that of steel beam.
