The purpose of this paper is to review theoretical and design advances
for composite bridges between 1970 and the present, 1992. As such, on
ly references specifically related to composite bridges are included.
Topics of specific interest have been identified: the steel sub-struct
ure, the concrete slab, shear connectors, loads and load distribution,
serviceability, maintenance, repair and rehabilitation. Trends influe
ncing composite bridge design and future research needs are also ident
ified.
