Abstract:

This paper studies the effect of truck wheel loadings on the behavior of skewed reinforced concrete deck supported on PC girder superstructure. The research was purposed to fully investigate the role of truck loadings in commonly observed corner cracking on skewed RC deck. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed for a series of generic skewed RC deck models with varying key parameters. Before that, the FEM numerical modeling was first corrected and verified by use of in-situ deck strain measurement during field load testing of a bridge named as M-50 skewed at 46°. Both the field test and FEA results show that service truck loadings induce very low strains or stresses in the decks, which are unlikely to initiate the corner cracking alone on the skewed decks. However, the repeated truck wheel loadings over decks may create cracking or make the existing cracks become wider, longer and even visible. In addition, the local effect of wheel loadings significantly contributes to the total strain or stress response, especially for long span bridges and at mid-spans of bridges, but the global loading effect of deck being a part of composite cross section may be either negligible or significant depending on the location investigated. The current AASHTO-LRFD (2007) design method conservatively estimates the local effect but ignores the global effect, resulting in unsatisfactory modeling of the real strain state. Besides, the total strain or stress effect due to truck loading increases slightly with skew angle magnitude.
