AC Pavement Strengths on Bridge

AC Pavement Strengths on Bridge

AC Pavement Strengths on Bridge

(OP)
I'm analyzing a bridge with an AC pavement over corrugated steel deck.  Does anyone know the strength properties of AC pavement spanning over beams?  In other words I need to find the shear and bending strengths of the deck.

RE: AC Pavement Strengths on Bridge

If by AC you mean asphaltic concrete, or asphalt, then it won't provide any strength to the deck.  It's also too soft to provide any stiffness to the deck.
