Experimental Study of Cold-Formed Steel Bridge Girder in Various Shapes Under Static Loads
Fareed H. Majeed
To facilitate accelerated bridge construction and reduce the cost of bridge design and construction, a cold-formed steel composite bridge girder has been suggested recently as an economical alternative. The new technology for the composite bridge girder includes a cold-formed steel plate and either a precast or cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) slab. Previous research on cold-formed steel concrete composite girders has introduced two new shapes for short-span bridge girders: a cold-formed s
