Failure assessment of lightly reinforced floor slabs. I: Experimental investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper is concerned with the ultimate behavior of lightly reinforced concrete floor slabs under extreme loading conditions. Particular emphasis is given to examining the failure conditions of idealized composite slabs which become lightly reinforced ...

Application of PZT Technology and Clustering Algorithm for Debonding Detection of Steel-UHPC Composite Slabs

open access: yesSensors, 2018
A lightweight composite bridge deck system composed of steel orthotropic deck stiffened with thin Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) layer has been proposed to eliminate fatigue cracks in orthotropic steel decks.

An Optimization-Based Case Study of Aluminum Pedestrian Bridge Decks

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
In Sweden, steel bridges are the most common solution regarding prefabricated short-span (15–35 m) pedestrian bridges. The most common bridge type for this application is a carbon steel truss bridge with an orthotropic deck consisting of a 10–12 mm deck ...

Virtual structural health monitoring and remaining life prediction of steel bridges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this study a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system is combined with Bridge Weigh-in-Motion (B-WIM) measurements of the actual traffic loading on a bridge to carry out a fatigue damage calculation.

Fatigue life prediction of orthotropic steel deck strengthened with UHPC under stochastic traffic load

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2023
In recent years, the ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has been increasingly used to strengthen orthotropic steel decks (OSD) to solve the cracking problems at fatigue-prone details and pavement damage.

Numerical Analysis of the Bridge Orthotropic Deck Time Dependent Resistance

open access: yesCommunications, 2013
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.

Fatigue Performance of Different Rib-To-Deck Connections Using Traction Structural Stress Method

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
The fatigue performance of an orthotropic steel bridge deck is significantly influenced by the type of the rib-to-deck connection considering the crossbeam.

Fatigue Reliability Assessment of Orthotropic Bridge Decks under Stochastic Truck Loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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.
