Fatigue Reliability Assessment for Orthotropic Steel Bridge Decks Considering Load Sequence Effects

Fatigue damage accumulations would dramatically reduce the reliability and service life of the orthotropic steel decks. Incorrect fatigue assessment results may be obtained when load sequence effects are omitted. In the present study, fatigue reliability assessments of rib-to-deck weld joints in ort...
