Monitoring of Crack Flank Movement in a Steel Orthotropic Deck
Civil and Environmental EngineeringFatigue cracking is a common issue in steel orthotropic bridge decks subjected to long-term dynamic loading. When repairs are required, especially by welding, it is typically necessary to close the bridge to traffic to ensure proper weld quality. However,

Response of orthotropic bridge decks to highway loadings
, 1973 This thesis documents the fabrication, testing techniques, and response of a plastic scale model of an orthotropic bridge deck. To economically investigate a two-lane steel bridge deck, plastic AcrylicR was used as a modeling material.
