Based on an analysis of the extant literature, this paper summarizes the research progress on the mechanical properties and long-term behavior of corrugated steel web (CSW) box girder bridges. First, the research results of CSW box girder bridges in terms of the shear buckling performance (local shear buckling, overall shear buckling, and interaction buckling), bending performance, bending capacity, torsional capacity, and coefficient of internal force increase are summarized, along with the main factors affecting the mechanical performance of CSW box girder bridges. Second, based on research on the self-oscillation characteristics and dynamic response of CSW box girder bridges, the influence of structural parameters on the self-oscillation characteristics is analyzed. Finally, the long-term mechanical behavior of the CSW box girder bridges is analyzed in terms of fatigue, creep, and temperature effects. The existing research results demonstrate that there still exist deficiencies in the mechanical properties and long-term behavior of CSW box girder bridges, and this paper thus suggests a future research focus on CSW box girder bridges to provide a reference for further improving their basic theoretical system.

With the rapid development of bridge construction, the service life of bridges and traffic volume continue to increase, leading to the gradual appearance of diseases such as potholes and cracks in bridge deck pavements under repeated external loads. These issues severely impact the safety and service life of bridges. The repair of bridge deck potholes and cracks is crucial for ensuring the integrity and safety of bridge structures. Rapid repair materials designed for this purpose play a critical role in effectively and efficiently addressing these issues. In order to address the issues of pavement diseases, this study focuses on the rapid repair of epoxy concrete for bridge deck pavements and its performance is studied using experimental methods. Firstly, carbon black, rubber powder, and other materials were used to improve the elastic modulus and aging resistance of the epoxy concrete. Secondly, the addition of solid asphalt particles provided thermal sensitivity to the repair material. Finally, various properties of the rapid repair epoxy concrete for bridge deck pavements were tested through experiments including compressive strength testing, elastic modulus measurement, thermal sensitivity testing, and anti-UV aging testing. The experimental results show that adding carbon black and rubber powder reduces the elastic modulus of epoxy concrete by 25% compared to normal epoxy concrete, while increasing its aging resistance by 1.8%. The inclusion of solid asphalt particles provided thermal sensitivity to the repair material, contributing to better stress coordination between the repair material and the original pavement material under different temperature conditions. The epoxy concrete has early strength, toughness, and anti-aging properties, making it suitable for rapid repair of bridge deck pavement.

In order to reveal the influence of freezing and thawing on fatigue properties of the prestressed concrete beam, a kind of novel freeze‐thaw test method for large concrete structure components was proposed, and the freeze‐thaw experiments and fatigue failure test of prestressed concrete hollow beams were performed in this paper. Firstly, the compressive strength and dynamic elastic modulus of standard specimens subjected to different numbers of freeze‐thaw cycles (0, 50, 75, and 100) were determined. Then, the static and dynamic experiments were performed for prestressed concrete beams under different freeze‐thaw cycles. Depending on the static failure test results, the fatigue load for the prestressed concrete beam model was carried out, the fatigue tests for prestressed concrete beam under freezing and thawing cycles were done, and the influence of fatigue loading times on dynamic and static characteristics of prestressed concrete beam was also studied. Finally, the relation between fatigue characteristics and numbers of freeze‐thaw cycles was established, and the fatigue life prediction formulas of prestressed concrete beams under freeze‐thaw cycles were developed. The research shows that the freezing and thawing cycles had obvious influence on fatigue life, and the freezing and thawing cycles should be taken into account for life prediction and quality evaluation of prestressed concrete beams.
