Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Different side views (upper row) and cross sections (middle and bottom rows) of girders with composite dowels. 1–5: With single dowel strip, 6–9: sections using two dowel strips [4].

Figure 2

Bridge in Elbląg using both steel and concrete webs in the girder [4, 5].

Figure 3

Steel T-sections of Elbląg bridge. High T-sections for mid-span regions, low T-sections for internal support regions [4].

Figure 4

External span of the Elbląg bridge [4, 5].

Figure 10

Concrete cracking ranges in (a) reinforced concrete beam, (b) composite beam, (c) hybrid beam.

Figure 11

Different numerical models for composite bridges’ analysis (on basis of [9]).

Figure 12

Hybrid beam assumed for FE analysis (rebars only in the tensile regions are displayed).

Figure 13

Side view, 3d view and cross section of a finite element model of the considered beam (steel web highlighted in blue).

Figure 14

Tension stiffening model adopted in approach C according to annex L1 [27].

Figure 15

Tensile stress layout in in situ slab (top view), upper slab (top view) and concrete web of the prefab (side view) – uncracked analysis (step 1).

Figure 16

Tensile stress layout in in situ slab (top view), upper slab (top view) and concrete web of the prefab (side view) – cracked analysis (step 2).

Figure 17

Tensile stress layout in in situ slab (top view), upper slab (top view) and concrete web of the prefab (side view) – cracked analysis (step 3).

Figure 18

Comparison of cracked zones in the web in approaches A, B and C. Cracked zones in slabs are equal to the length of cracked zones in the top part of a web at the internal support.

Figure 19

Bending moment envelope depending on the assumed approach (A, B, C).
