Abstract
In the performance of concrete bridge decks, apart from the behavior of resisting impact loads contributed by their own sections, there exists another mechanism also contributing to the load-bearing capacity of concrete bridge decks, as mentioned in studies. This mechanism is known as the arching-action mechanism, which arises in the concrete deck slab under the impact of loads. The contribution of this mechanism enhances the load-bearing capacity of the concrete deck slab. As a result, the actual load-bearing capacity of the concrete deck slab increases significantly in comparison with that estimated by the traditional design method allowed in the bridge design specification TCVN 11823-2017. Therefore, once considering the contribution of aching-action to the load-bearing capacity of the concrete deck slab, the necessary amount of reinforcement required for the concrete deck slab can be reduced. Based on this issue, an experimental study on the behavior of concrete bridge deck under wheel load has been carried out and is presented in this paper. The experimental results will be analyzed and compared with predicted results using various estimation models to survey the contribution of the arching-action to the load-bearing capacity of the concrete bridge deck. Thence, relevant recommendations for the design of concrete bridge deck will be suggested.References
