IN THE SPRING OF 1950, AN EXTENSIVE PROGRAM OF STRAIN AND DEFLECTION MEASUREMENTS WAS INITIATED ON A STATE FREEWAY BRIDGE CROSSING SAN LEANDRO CREEK IN OAKLAND. ONE OF THE MAIN SUBJECTS UNDER INVESTIGATION WAS THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE GIRDERS. THIS REPORT DISCUSSES BRIEFLY SOME OF THE RESULTS OF THE TESTS CONCERNING LOAD DISTRIBUTION AS AFFECTED BY: (1) COMPOSITE ACTION OF THE CONCRETE SLAB WITH THE STEEL GIRDERS, (2) LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE POSITION OF THE LOAD, AND (3) STEEL DIAPHRAGMS. THESE TEST RESULTS ARE COMPARED WITH THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND WITH AASHO SPECIFICATIONS.
