Evaluation on root-deck fatigue of orthotropic steel bridge deck

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2013
Abstract Orthotropic steel decks are widely used in cable-supported bridges. The fatigue cracks in trough-deck welded joints have been detected in some bridges in China. In this paper, the finite element method (FEM) is applied to evaluate fatigue durability of the root-deck fatigue in the trough-deck welded joints over the diaphragms.

Refurbishment of orthotropic steel decks with steel plates

IABSE Congress Reports, 2021
<p>A common problem in steel bridges is fatigue of orthotropic decks due to heavy traffic demands. Whilst replacing the asphalt with a high strength concrete overlay can solve this problem, it imposes significant additional self-weight. This additional self-weight often requires strengthening of the superstructure which in turn can result in long

Fatigue of Orthotropic Steel Decks

Journal of the Structural Division, 1972
Experimental investigations reported on the fatigue behavior of orthotropic steel bridge decks have been rather limited. Results of fatigue tests on steel orthotropic decks with both conventional and biserrated trapezoidal ribs are presented. In the first phase, tests on two types of deck to rib plate welded connections unflanged and flanged ribs, and ...

Renovation of Orthotropic Steel Bridge Decks

IABSE Reports, 2013
<p>This paper is about the renovation of orthotropic steel deck bridges. It proposes a new solution for placing an overlay of prefabricated HSRC elements on the bridge deck to prevent fatigue damage.</p>

Stress concentration in steel bridge orthotropic decks

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2005
Abstract The structural behaviour of orthotropic steel decks is characterized by the complex interaction between its components (deck plate, ribs and floorbeams) and also by the interaction between the structure, the pavement and the vehicle’s wheels tyres.
