The Evolution of Residual Stress in Rib-Diaphragm Joints of Orthotropic Steel Decks Subjected to Thermal Cutting and Welding

Residual stresses change the stress ratio of fluctuating stresses, hence seriously affect the fatigue life of orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) under traffic loading. Residual stress distributions near the U rib-diaphragm joints are very complicated and need to be investigated further. In this paper, a...
