Abstract:
An elongated girder for use in a bridge includes a girder body having a modified V-shaped cross section. The body includes longitudinally extending webs defining sides of the girder, a bottom flange extending between the webs, and top flanges extending outwardly from the webs.

Claim (Index 22):
A method of forming a hybrid composite concrete bridge system comprising:\n mounting a plurality of elongated girders between bridge abutments that define ends of a hybrid composite concrete bridge; and attaching a plurality of reinforced concrete deck panels to the girders; wherein each girder has a modified V-shaped cross section and includes longitudinally extending webs defining sides of the girder, a bottom flange extending between the webs, top flanges extending outwardly from the webs, and a plurality of shear connectors extending outwardly from the top flanges, and wherein each girder is formed from fiber reinforced polymer (FRP); wherein the reinforced concrete deck panels include pairs of parallel channels in a lower surface thereof, wherein the reinforced concrete deck panels are positioned on the girders such that the shear connectors on each of the top flanges are positioned inside one of the parallel channels; wherein only one of a crane truck and a deck crane is used to perform each of the steps of positioning the elongated girders between the bridge abutments, positioning the concrete deck panels sequentially from an end of a bridge being formed by driving the one of a crane truck and a deck crane over previously installed concrete deck panels, and applying grout within the parallel channels and around the shear connectors.
