Statistical Analysis of Stress Signals from Bridge Monitoring by FBG System

open access: yesSensors, 2018
In this paper, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based stress monitoring system instrumented on an orthotropic steel deck arch bridge is demonstrated. The FBG sensors are installed at two types of critical fatigue-prone welded joints to measure the strain and ...

Temperature Measurements During Asphalt Paving on a Bridge with Orthotropic Deck

open access: yesce/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.

Fatigue Performance of Steel–UHPC Composite Bridge Deck System with Large Longitudinal Rib

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022
A critical problem in the development and application of orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) is fatigue cracking, which is determined by the deck’s structural system, mechanical characteristics, load, and external environmental factors. The development

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

open access: yesStructural 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 ...

Remaining Fatigue Strength of an Orthotropic Steel Deck with Respect to a Repair Method by Cold Joining Techniques

open access: yes
143152The increased traffic loads of the last decades led to an overload of the existing infrastructure. Especially for orthotropic steel decks of bridges, which are prone to fatigue fractures, this have led to structural damages of different categories.

Feasibility Study of Strengthening Existing Single Span Steel Beam Concrete Deck Bridges; HR-214, June 1961 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1961
Iowa has the same problem that confronts most states in the United States: many bridges constructed more than 20 years ago either have deteriorated to the point that they are inadequate for original design loads or have been rendered inadequate by ...
