This paper is focused on the field performance of a modular press-brake-formed tub girder (PBFTG) system in short span bridge applications. The scope of this project to conduct a live load field test on West Virginia State Project no. S322-37-3.29 00, a bridge utilizing PBFTGs located near Ranger, West Virginia. The modular PBFTG is a shallow trapezoidal box girder cold-formed using press-brakes from standard mill plate widths and thicknesses. A technical working group within the Steel Market Development Institute’s Short Span Steel Bridge Alliance, led by the current authors, was charged with the development of this concept. Research of PBFTGs has included analyzing the flexural bending capacity using experimental testing and analytical methods. This paper presents the experimental testing procedures and performance of a composite PBFTG bridge.
