Feasibility Analysis of Synchronous Paving of Epoxy Resin Tack Coat and Mixture in Steel Bridge Deck Pavement

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Aiming at the prominent engineering drawbacks of epoxy resin bonding layers on steel bridge decks—namely the narrow construction window, excessive curing triggered by paving delays due to rainfall, and the subsequent interlayer bonding failure as well as schedule and economic losses—this paper innovatively proposes a synchronous paving technology ...

Innovative fatigue design of orthotropic steel decks [PDF]

Bridge Structures, 2017
Orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) consist of a complex network of stiffeners and the deck plate itself. Working as a whole, it takes part in the structural working of the overall bridge, which in its turn results in a lightweight and durable deck concept.

Temperature Measurements During Asphalt Paving on a Bridge with Orthotropic Deck

ce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 233-237, December 2025.
Abstract Currently, there is no defined load case for asphalt paving in bridge design codes. This often leads to discussions during the planning of bridges in Germany, particularly for steel bridges. As part of the rehabilitation of the Franz Joseph Strauβ Bridge in Passau, the pavement was removed and newly installed.

Experimental Study of Environmental Conditions on In-Situ Engineered Cementitious Composites-Steel Deck Interface

Applied Sciences, 2020
In this study, engineered cementitious composite (ECC) was used as a deck paving for long-span bridges. The feasibility of using an epoxy adhesive to achieve wet-bonding between a steel deck and cast-in-place ECC was evaluated.

Structural behavior of deteriorated Gerber half‐joints in highway overpasses by nonlinear finite element analysis combined with a simplified uniform‐corrosion model

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5677-5707, October 2025.
Abstract Gerber half‐joints, broadly used in the last century as elements of concrete bridges, are prone to corrosion‐induced deterioration, which may lead to brittle shear collapse. It is of paramount importance to develop advanced numerical models for simulating the collapse behavior of Gerber half‐joints, taking material deterioration into account ...
