Optimizing rib width to height and rib spacing to deck plate thickness ratios in orthotropic decks
Cogent Engineering, 2016 Orthotropic decks are composed of deck plate, ribs, and cross-beams and are frequently used in industry to span long distances, due to their light structures and load carrying capacities.

Fatigue Performance of Steel–UHPC Composite Bridge Deck System with Large Longitudinal Rib
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 A critical problem in the development and application of orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) is fatigue cracking, which is determined by the deck’s structural system, mechanical characteristics, load, and external environmental factors. The development

Overall feasibility assessment of polyester polyurethane concrete used as steel bridge deck pavement
Frontiers in Materials, 2022 Traditional pavement materials used in the orthotropic steel bridge deck suffer from various pavement distresses and thus reduce the service life of the steel bridge. Therefore, this study proposed a novel engineered material named polyester polyurethane

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 1364-1382, April 2026.Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a
