Abstract: The lateral-torsional buckling capacity of steel bridge girders is often increased by incorporating bracing along the girder length. Permanent metal deck forms (PMDF) that are used to support the wet concrete deck during bridge construction are a likely source of stability bracing; however, their bracing performance is greatly limited by flexibility in the connections currently used with the formwork. This paper outlines results from a research study that assessed and improved the bracing potential of metal deck forms used in bridge applications. The research study included shear tests of PMDF panels, and also lateral displacement and buckling tests of twin girder systems braced with PMDF. This paper will provide key results from the shear panel tests and then focus on the lateral displacement tests. Parametric investigations of PMDF bracing behavior were conducted using finite-element analyses and the results from the lateral displacement tests served a critical role in calibrating the finite element models. This paper documents key results from lateral load tests of 17 girder-PMDF systems using a variety of bracing details and PMDF thickness values. © 2009 ASCE
