Rational analysis of orthotropic bridge decks
International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 1974Abstract New formulae are presented for the exact elastic analysis of a broad class of orthotropic bridge decks and panels in the form of ribbed plates. The formulae are directly applicable to decks that are simply supported at the ends and beam-supported at the sides and, through superposition, can be routinely extended to decks that are continuous ...

Monitoring fatigue effects in an orthotropic steel bridge deck
IABSE Reports, 2013<p>The effect of fatigue is particularly relevant in steel bridges since the influence of traffic load cycles on serviceability limit stress values is very high if compared to relatively low dead weights.</p><p>Orthotropic steel decks, directly subjected to traffic loads, are very sensitive to fatigue: in most cases, fatigue defects ...

Cracks in Steel Orthotropic Decks
1990Many cracks have been discovered in steel orthotropic decks during the past 12 years. They occurred either at the rib-to-deck plate junction or at the rib-to-floor beam junction, depending on local facts. Frequent inspections on a large number of decks allowed observation of their appearance and progress in order to set up a plan of action and repair ...

Renovation of Orthotropic Steel Bridge Decks
IABSE Reports, 2013<p>This paper is about the renovation of orthotropic steel deck bridges. It proposes a new solution for placing an overlay of prefabricated HSRC elements on the bridge deck to prevent fatigue damage.</p>

Steel Orthotropic Decks: Developments in the 1990s
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1999Recent developments in the field of steel orthotropic decks, which made possible the design of several recently completed highway bridges with record-breaking spans, are summarized. The more efficient, but fatigue sensitive, decks with closed ribs were prevalently used.

Fatigue Life Estimation of Rib-to-Deck Joints in Orthotropic Steel Decks
Advanced Materials Research, 2010A typical rib-to-deck joint in orthotropic steel bridge deck in a suspension bridge is analyzed in this paper. A local finite element model of bridge deck is established by ANSYS, the vehicle load defined in current code is selected as live load, the stress distribution of the deck bottom in the rib-to-deck joint is analyzed.

Commentary on Orthotropic-Deck Bridge Specification
Journal of the Structural Division, 1974A commentary is presented to support specification provisions for the design and construction of steel orthotropic-deck bridges that were recently (1973) adopted by the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials. The new provisions pertain primarily to the deck, but include some requirements for all-steel box girders, which are ...

The Use of Orthotropic Decks in Redecking of Bridges
Engineering Journal, 2001A bridge deck directly loaded by heavy truck wheels and exposed to weather effects is the most vulnerable component of a bridge structure and must satisfy the most severe strength and durability demands. Failed bridge decks typically account for about two-thirds of all bridge deficiency cases. Bridge deck replacement becomes necessary where yearly deck

Fatigue process of rib-to-deck welded joints of orthotropic steel decks
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, 2019Abstract The numerous welded joints in orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) lead to a high probability of fatigue damage. One of the most detrimental problems is the severe reduction of the serviceability due to cracks in rib-to-deck welded joints, which require in-depth studies on the entire fatigue process.
