This paper presents the static and fatigue performance of composite sandwich bridge decks with hybrid GFRP-steel core The composite sandwich bridge deck system is comprised of wrapped hybrid core of GFRP grid and multiple steel box cells with upper and lower GFRP facings Its structural performance under static loading and fatigue loading with a nominal frequency of 5 Hz was evaluated The responses from laboratory testing were compared with the ANSYS finite element predictions The failure mode of the proposed composite sandwich bridge deck was more favourable because of the yielding of the steel tube when compared with that of all-GFRP decks The ultimate failure of the composite sandwich deck panels occurs by shear of the bonded joints between GFRP facings and steel box cells Results from fatigue load test indicated no loss in stiffness no signs of de-bonding and no visible signs of deterioration up to 2 million load cycles The thickness of the composite sandwich deck retaining the similar stiffness may be decreased to some extent when compared with the all-GFRP deck This paper also presents design of a connection between composite sandwich deck and steel girder (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
