An Optimization-Based Case Study of Aluminum Pedestrian Bridge Decks
Engineering Proceedings, 2023 In Sweden, steel bridges are the most common solution regarding prefabricated short-span (15–35 m) pedestrian bridges. The most common bridge type for this application is a carbon steel truss bridge with an orthotropic deck consisting of a 10–12 mm deck ...

DETERMINATION OF THE RIB-TO-CROSSBEAM STRESSES IN ORTHOTROPIC STEEL DECKS
Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2023 For long span bridges, the orthotropic steel deck (OSD) is the most popular option for the bridge deck. Normal OSDs consist out of the steel bridge deck, the longitudinal stiffeners (ribs), and the transversal beams. All of the elements are welded together.

Fatigue assessment for deck plates in orthotropic bridge decks
Steel Construction, 2012 AbstractSince the 1960s, orthotropic deck plates of highway bridges have been built with large cold‐formed trapezoidal stiffeners supporting a deck plate with a thickness of approx. 12 mm. The maximum cross‐beam spacing is approx. 4 m. A number of these bridge decks in The Netherlands suffer from fatigue cracks in the deck plate. First cracks have been

Fatigue resistance of the deck plate in steel orthotropic deck structures
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2018 Steel orthotropic decks in bridges and ferries have shown to be prone to fatigue cracking. A typical fatigue crack observed in these structures initiates at the root of the weld between the deck plate and stringer and grows into the deck plate. Due to limited fatigue test data available and the deviating characteristics of this type of crack as ...
