Numerical Evaluation of Toe-Deck Fatigue in Orthotropic Steel Bridge Deck
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2015AbstractSome toe-deck crack cases in China have been reported after about 10 years of service in suspension and beam bridge steel orthotropic decks with trough stiffeners. In this paper, a reference stress method used in design practice and a hot-spot stress method provided by the International Institute of Welding are used to investigate toe-deck ...

Strengthening of Orthotropic Bridge Decks by SPS Technology
Structures Congress 2008, 2008SUMMARY Despite their magnificent load-carrying properties, some orthotropic steel plates in steel bridge decks are showing signs of reduced fatigue resistance. This has led to much costly repair and maintenance work that in turn restricts traffic flow, an issue of particular concern within the heavily occupied German highway system.

Applications of Orthotropic Decks in Bridge Rehabilitation
Engineering Journal, 1987A bridge deck, subject to direct loading by heavy truck wheels and exposed to weather effects, is the most severely stressed structural element of a bridge. The static and dynamic effects of the moving wheel loads and the high ratio of live to dead load cause a wide range of alternating stresses in the deck.

A review of alternatives for orthotropic bridge deck panels
Bridge Structures, 2011Bridge decks are subject to severe loading conditions as they are loaded by large numbers of concentrated axles. In the case of orthotropic bridge decks, it is known that the combination of these loading conditions and the quantity of required welds may not allow for a durable and still cost-effective solution with this type of deck in the future ...

Fatigue Assessment of Orthotropic Steel Bridge Decks
1990Fatigue failures have occurred in the steel orthotropic decks of several bridges in Europe, some after little more than a decade in service. This has led not only to expensive inspection and repair procedures but has also highlighted the difficulty of assessing these decks, which lie outside the scope of most design codes.
