Abstract:

Folded plate girder (FPG) is constructed using a steel sheet, which is bent using a bending machine to create box girder with an open bottom flange. FPG can be used in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) by casting a full-depth deck panel on top of the FPG while in a precast plant. Advantages of the proposed deck systems include accelerated construction if compared to cast-in-place construction. The scope of the research was modified to more fully address splicing of the FPG. Splicing the FPG makes it suitable for spans up to 100 ft., allowing more bridges to take advantage of such system. A large-scale specimen was tested under fatigue loading for service life design and under ultimate load for AASHTO strength design.
