Abstract

In this paper the results of an experimental program were presented to show the effect of cross bracing on the behavior of composite bridges. Two types of models were prepared in the laboratories of the American University in Cairo Egypt. These models were chosen to be one tenth scale of the model of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Deflections and strains were measured for each model according to the set of bracing and comparisons were made to show the effect of bracing.
