Homogenization of a Composite, Multi-Girder Bridge Deck as an Equivalent Orthotropic Plate [PDF]
3rd International Conference on Composite Materials and Structures, University of Sciences and Technology of Oran, Oran, Algeria, 2 - 3 December 2014Most bridge decks are orthotropic, because of the orthotropic nature of their component parts (e.g ...

Simultaneous Optimization of Design Layout and Material Properties in Reinforced Concrete Structures
ABSTRACT The sustainable transformation of the building sector requires the design of mechanically efficient civil engineering structures, the consideration of material properties in the design layout plays an important role in this context. Steel‐reinforced concrete is an anisotropic bi‐material composite, which represents one of the most popular ...

Bending behavior of steel-UHPC composite bridge deck based on epoxy adhesive
Using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as the pavement layer on the orthotropic steel deck (OSD) can greatly enhance the rigidity to solve the fatigue cracking of the steel deck and the resulting damage to the pavement layer. However, the thin UHPC

Abstract Bridge decks with longitudinal trapezoidal stiffeners are widely used in long‐span steel bridges because they offer an effective balance of strength, structural efficiency, and durability. Key design challenges are accurately predicting the internal forces that develop in these stiffened decks under concentrated wheel loads, and how stiffener ...

Dynamic Amplification of an Orthotropic, Multi Span Bridge Deck under Moving Truck with Tandem Axles [PDF]
Vehicles crossing bridges at high speeds can cause significant dynamic effects and must be studied by accurately simulating the interactive, dynamic responses of the bridge deck and the load-applying vehicles.

Hot Spot Stress Evaluation of Welded Cope Hole Using Multi‐Scale FE Modelling
Abstract The welded joints of the orthotropic deck of steel bridges are vulnerable to fatigue phenomena due to ageing and overloading conditions. Therefore, the accurate assessment of fatigue life depends on the precise estimation of stress concentrations at the critical details.
