Numerical Simulation of Fatigue Performance of Diaphragm of Large-Span Bridge Orthotropic Deck
Complexity, 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.

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.

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of
