Abstract:
Describes the experimental continuous concrete girder bridge built in Hill County, Tex., in which high strength reinforcing steel was used. A brief description of the installation of electric strain gages, instrumentation, and test procedures is presented. Features of the structural analysis and a comparison of the ultimate strength design with the elastic design are given. Deflections and crack formations are discussed.
