Simulation of Partial Interaction for Composite Deck of “Al-SABTEA Bridge” Taking The Influence of Static Vehicle loads

The composite bridge has consisted of different materials such as the girder to be steel or precast that connected with deck concrete slab using shear connectors for working one. In present study ALSABTEA rehabilitation space existing constructed in Diyala-Iraq 1981 designed and behave full interaction. Representation finite element approach parameters assess doing under effects static loading actual dimensions mechanical properties. representation channel through elements COMBIN39 provided simple powerful modeling comparison 3D solid types. Examining push-out test comparing results model established by ANSYS proved proposed numerical could represent connector's behavior. difference is small (2.5% 3.7%) between connector combined 39 also, displacement (5%) experimental ANSYS. effect been studied included. Partial interaction Al-SABTEA Bridge Static loadings applied at based on Iraqi specification where final assessment deflection within permissible limits according all models.
