Study on Fatigue Cracking of Diaphragm’s Arc Opening of OSD in Steel Bridges by Using Biaxial Stress Method

Changes in loading position have a significant impact on the stress field of each vulnerable area of an orthotropic steel deck (OSD). The arc opening area of the diaphragm and the connecting area between the U-rib and the diaphragm under the moving load are prone to fatigue cracking. By comparing th...
