Study on the Pure Torsion Performance of I-Type Steel-Concrete Composite Bridge with Double Girders

Abstract

At present, the study of the torsion performance of the steel-concrete composite bridge with open sections are usually simplified to study the torsion performance of single-girder steel-concrete composite bridge added the influence of transverse vehicle distribution. Due to the existence of transverse connections between the bridge girders, the overall torsion performance of double-girder composite bridge is different from that of single-girder composite bridge. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of different forms of the connections on the torsional properties of the double-girder composite bridge through experiments. In this paper, three double-girder steel-concrete composite model bridges are designed to study the effect of different forms of transverse connections and the effect of different shapes of steel webs on torsional properties of composite bridges.
