Abstract
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.
