The fatigue behaviour of welded details in orthotropic steel decks with closed longitudinal stiffeners formed an important part of a joint research project partly funded by the European Coal and Steel Community. Fatigue tests on full scale orthotropic decks and sections of decks were performed and analysed following the procedure used for Eurocode 3, Design of Steel Structures. This paper reviews the tests carried out and presents the fatigue categories obtained, for use by designers. Furthermore, it is intended that these details should be included in Eurocode 3 - Part 2, Steel Bridges and Plated Structures.

Abstract
The fatigue behaviour of welded details in orthotropic steel decks with closed longitudinal stiffeners formed an important part of a joint research project partly funded by the European Coal and Steel Community. Fatigue tests on full scale orthotropic decks and sections of decks were performed and analysed following the procedure used for Eurocode 3, Design of Steel Structures. This paper reviews the tests carried out and presents the fatigue categories obtained, for use by designers. Furthermore, it is intended that these details should be included in Eurocode 3 - Part 2, Steel Bridges and Plated Structures.File in questo prodotto:
