Title: LABORATORY TESTING OF STRESS-LAMINATED WOOD DECKS ON STEEL BEAMS

Record URL: Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Find a library where document is available Abstract: Four different stress-laminated wood decks were laboratory-tested to measure composite action between deck and steel beams, transverse load distribution, performance of connectors, and deck construction cost. The models were subjected to cyclic loading varying from 9 to 89 kN. Static load tests were conducted after every 100,000 cycles. During static load testing, strains and deflections in the beams were measured at 22, 44, 67, and 89 kN. The loss of tension in the connectors was also monitored after every 100,000 cycles. The readings were used to compare the composite action, load distribution, and tension loss in connectors. Load distribution values were verified with theoretical calculations.
