Due to the accumulated fatigue damage in steel-concrete continuous composite box beams, a plastic hinge forms in the negative moment zone, leading to significant internal force redistribution. To investigate the internal force redistribution in the negative moment zone and confirm structural safety under fatigue loading, experimental tests were conducted on nine steel-concrete continuous composite box beams: eight of them under fatigue testing, one of them under static testing. The test results showed that the moment modification coefficient at the middle support increases during the fatigue process. When approaching fatigue failure, an increase of 1.0% in the reinforcement ratio or 0.27% in the stirrup ratio results in a reduction of 13% in the moment modification coefficient. Furthermore, a quadratic function model was proposed to calculate the moment modification coefficient of a steel-concrete continuous composite box beam during the fatigue process, which exhibited good agreement with the experimental results. Finally, we verified the applicability of the plastic hinge rotation theory for steel-concrete continuous composite box beams under fatigue loading.

Steel-concrete continuous composite beams are widely used in buildings and bridges and have many economic benefits. Slip has always existed in composite beams and will reduce the stiffness of composite beams. The effect of creep under a long-term load will also be harmful.

A hybrid girder bridge adopts a steel segment at the mid-span of the main span of a continuous concrete girder bridge. The critical point of the hybrid solution is the transition zone, connecting the steel and concrete segments of the beam. Although many girder tests revealing the structural behavior of hybrid girders have been conducted by previous studies, few specimens took the full section of a steel-concrete joint due to the large size of prototype hybrid bridges.

The hunger for a better, more effective, more economic, easier for construction, and overall more sustainable bridge design is enormous nowadays. One of the solutions for the problems described is a steel-concrete composite structure with embedded continuous shear connectors. Such structure uses advantages of both materials (concrete in compression and steel in tension) while lowering the overall height of the structure and time of the construction.

Due to the strong interface effect of continuous steel-concrete composite beams with conventional shear connectors, the efficiency of applying pre-stress in the negative moment zone is greatly reduced, which leads to a difficulty of anti-cracking design in the negative moment zone of pre-stressed steel-concrete composite box girder. In order to study the feasibility and the working mechanism of improving the crack resistance of continuous steel-concrete composite bridges by releasing the interfacial slip effect within the negative bending moment region, two groups of model tests were carried out in the paper. Two steel-concrete composite beams were used for model test, one of them using the conventional stud shear connectors, another one using the new shear connectors, named uplift-restricted and slip-permitted shear connectors.
