The concrete deck of steel-concrete composite bridges made via prefabricated construction consists of precast slabs and construction joints between the slabs. When the age difference between the longitudinal joint concrete and precast slab concrete (new-old concrete) across a beam section is considered, the time-dependent characteristic of the assembled deck is different from that of the whole prefabricated deck. Based on the virtual work principle, differential equations were established to analyse the influence of the time-dependent characteristics of new-old concrete across a beam section on the shear lag effect of the composite beams. The analysis of examples showed that the proposed model was more accurate than the traditional model, which ignores the concrete age difference across a beam section, especially when analysing the long-term stress of joint concrete. The long-term stress of the joint concrete obtained by the proposed model decreased faster than that obtained by the traditional model with time, which increased the non-uniformity of the distribution of stress along the concrete flange. Overall, the proposed model could reasonably forecast the long-term performance of composite beams with assembled decks, which is beneficial to the life-cycle design and service behaviour analysis of composite bridges.
