Abstract

Laboratory fatigue tests were carried out on specimens containing a single stiffener and on a full size bridge deck panel after cracking in welded connections on an experimental orthotropic bridge deck panel. Tests confirmed that the design of this type of stiffener to cross-beam connection must be assessed for fatigue under traffic loading.
