Timber-Concrete Composite bridges have the potential to achieve significant levels of structural efficiency through the synergistic use of Engineering Wood Products (EWPs) and reinforced concrete. With the implementation of post-tensioned under-deck tendons, the range of application of TCC bridges can be extended to medium spans. However, little work has been done to date to study the dynamic response of these newly proposed bridges. In this paper, a set of FE models representing 60-m span structures are analysed to gain understanding on the dynamic response of post-tensioned under-deck TCC bridges. Two models with Euler and Timoshenko beam idealizations are considered in order to evaluate the significance of shear deformations on deflection, structural stresses and connector shear forces. Besides, an analytical model is formulated and compared against the numerical predictions. The results show that timber shear deformations should be considered in the design of post-tensioned under-deck TCC bridges. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge models were studied. The dynamic amplification caused by a moving point load on key response parameters such as deflection, stresses and connector shear forces is discussed. Also, a sensitivity study on the speed of moving load is conducted to investigate its influence on the bridge dynamic response.
