Temperature Measurements During Asphalt Paving on a Bridge with Orthotropic Deck

ce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 233-237, December 2025.
Abstract Currently, there is no defined load case for asphalt paving in bridge design codes. This often leads to discussions during the planning of bridges in Germany, particularly for steel bridges. As part of the rehabilitation of the Franz Joseph Strauβ Bridge in Passau, the pavement was removed and newly installed.

Fatigue Life Assessment of Orthotropic Steel Deck with UHPC Pavement

Journal of Engineering, 2017
In recent years, a number of large-span bridges with orthotropic steel decks were constructed in China. With increasing traffic volumes and higher wheel loads, many fatigue cracks developed at the welds and the edge of cut-out holes.

Structural behavior of deteriorated Gerber half‐joints in highway overpasses by nonlinear finite element analysis combined with a simplified uniform‐corrosion model

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5677-5707, October 2025.
Abstract Gerber half‐joints, broadly used in the last century as elements of concrete bridges, are prone to corrosion‐induced deterioration, which may lead to brittle shear collapse. It is of paramount importance to develop advanced numerical models for simulating the collapse behavior of Gerber half‐joints, taking material deterioration into account ...
