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 ...

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 Simulation of Fatigue Performance of Diaphragm of Large-Span Bridge Orthotropic Deck

open access: yesComplexity, 2018
Under traffic loads, orthotropic steel bridge slabs suffer from an obvious fatigue problem. In particular, fatigue cracking of diaphragms seriously affects application and development of orthotropic bridge slabs.

Fatigue Property and Improvement of a Rounded Welding Region between the Diaphragm Plate and Closed Rib of an Orthotropic Steel Bridge Deck

open access: yesMetals, 2020
By means of finite element modeling (FEM) and fatigue experiments, we study the fatigue performance of the rounded welding region between the diaphragm plate and closed rib of orthotropic steel bridge deck in this work.

Optimizing rib width to height and rib spacing to deck plate thickness ratios in orthotropic decks

open access: yesCogent 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.

Assessing the Impact of Nitrogen Trade‐Off Between Coffee Tree Productivity and Bean Sensory Attributes to Produce Australian ‘Specialty Coffee’

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Effective nitrogen management is essential for sustainable coffee production and enhanced yield. This study evaluated the effects of five nitrogen application rates (per annum; N1: 120 kg/ha, N2: 240 kg/ha, N3: 360 kg/ha, N4: 480 kg/ha, N5: 600 kg/ha) applied in equally distributed monthly rates over 2 years, from flowering to harvest, on Coffea ...

Effects of Stiffener Type on Fatigue Resistance of Steel-UHPC Composite Bridge Decks

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2022
Recent research showed that ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) and orthotropic steel bridge decks could be integrated to form steel-UHPC composite sections offering superior load-carrying capacity and fatigue resistance.
