3. 3Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Introduction: Assessment of PC girder bridges (1)
• Prestressed concrete girder bridges in the Netherlands (+- 70)
• Prestressed girders
• Slab cast in between girders, transverse prestressing
• Diaphragm beams
• First research: capacity of slabs
• Compressive membrane action
• Fatigue capacity
• Sufficient capacity based on experiments
• Then: PC girders UC > 1 for shear-tension

23. 23Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Results: Comparison to predicted capacity
24. 24Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Results: Influence of prestressing level
25. 25Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Results: Influence of prestressing level
26. 26Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Results: Influence of position of load
• Failure mode:
• For a = 2903 mm: Shear
cracking, then shear-compression
failure
• For a = 4400 mm: Shear
cracking, then local crushing of
concrete zone or crushing of
compression field

28. 28Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Recommendations for practice: Measurement
techniques
• AE measurements can capture
cracking early
• DIC: analysis of aggregate interlock
• LVDT and DIC: analysis of angle of
compression field
• Lasers: need sufficient range for
displacement under load
Rotating angle for HPZ03
29. 29Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Recommendations for practice: Load testing of PC
girder bridges
• Ongoing research on load testing of
bridges
• Collapse test of Vecht Bridge in 2016
• Relate insights from research to collapse
test
=> Future work
Collapse test of Vecht Bridge, 2016
30. 30Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Recommendations for practice: Assessment of
PC girder bridges
• Ongoing research
• System behavior and transverse
flexural distribution
• Best option: NLFEA (RTD 1016:2017)
• For sectional analysis: promising
results with draft new Eurocode and
Response-2000
Response 2000 vs experiments

31. 31Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Next steps
• Finalize analysis of test results
• Assessment of these girder types
• Use insights from monitoring techniques
• (short-term) field tests / load testing
• long-term monitoring
32. 32Shear Testing of Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges
Summary and Conclusions
• 4 experiments on PC girders failing in shear
• Failure modes related to concrete crushing
• Increase in shear capacity past inclined
cracking load
• Non-code-compliant stirrups
• Use of AE, SA, DIC + traditional
measurement techniques
• Future work: assessment of PC girder bridges
+ recommendations for field testing
