Numerical Analysis of the Bridge Orthotropic Deck Time Dependent Resistance
Resistance of the stiffened plated orthotropic deck of bridge with ballast bed is affected by the environmental action effects due to unchecked corrosion process of steel bridge deck under ballast bed.

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

Fatigue assessment for deck plates in orthotropic bridge decks
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 Reliability Assessment of Orthotropic Bridge Decks under Stochastic Truck Loading [PDF]
A steady traffic growth has posed a threat to the fatigue safety of existing bridges. Uncertainties in traffic flows add to the challenge of an accurate fatigue safety assessment.

Innovative fatigue design of orthotropic steel decks [PDF]
Orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) consist of a complex network of stiffeners and the deck plate itself. Working as a whole, it takes part in the structural working of the overall bridge, which in its turn results in a lightweight and durable deck concept.

Overall buckling of lightweight stiffened panels using an adapted orthotropic plate method
The ultimate longitudinal bending strength of thin plated steel structures such as box girder bridges and ship hulls can be determined using an incremental–iterative procedure known as the Smith progressive collapse method.
