Optimization of Rib-to-Deck Welds for Steel Orthotropic Bridge Decks
The U.S. Federal Highway Administration has released a report that documents fatigue testing results of full-scale geometries of various orthotropic rib-to-deck weld geometries. The goal of the research is to assess weld geometries and provide performance data that may alleviate restrictive fabrication specifications.
