Bridge Deck Pavement

Recently, the multitower suspension bridge has been widely used in long-span bridge construction. However, the dynamic response of the deck and pavement system of the multitower suspension bridge under random vehicle load is still not clear, which is of great significance to steel-bridge deck pavement (SBDP) design and construction. To reveal the mechanical mechanism of the steel-bridge deck pavement of the multitower suspension bridge under traffic load, this paper analyzed the mechanical response of the pavement based on case study through the multiscale numerical approach and experimental program. Firstly, considering the full-bridge effect of the multitower suspension bridge, the finite element model (FEM) of the SBDP composite structure was established to obtain key girder segments. Secondly, the influences of pavement layer, bending moment and torque, random traffic flow, and bridge structure on the stress of the girder segment were analyzed. Thirdly, the mechanical response of the pavement layer to the orthotropic plate under random vehicle load was studied. Finally, a full-scale model of the experimental program was established to verify the numerical results. Results show that (1) the pavement layer reduced the stress of the steel-box girder roof by about 10%. In the case of adverse bending moment and torque, the longitudinal and transverse stresses of the pavement layer were mainly concentrated in the stress concentration area near the suspender. Under the action of the random vehicle flow, the stress response of the pavement layer was increased by 40% compared with that under standard load. (2) Three-tower and two-span bridge structures have a great influence on the vertical deformation of the pavement layer under the action of vehicle load. Thus, the pavement material needs to have great deformation capacity. (3) The full-bridge effect has a significant influence on the longitudinal stress of the local orthotropic plate, but a small influence on the transverse stress. (4) There is a good correlation between the experimental measurement results of the full-size model and that of the numerical model. The research results can provide guidance for SBDP design and construction of the multitower suspension bridge.

Bridge Deck Pavement

This study aims to evaluate the economy of a steel bridge deck pavement scheme (SBDPS) using a comprehensive life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis approach. The SBDPS are divided into the “epoxy asphalt concrete system”(EA system) and“ Gussasphalt concrete system”(GA system) according to the difference in the material in the lower layer of the SBDPS. A targeted LCC checklist, including manager cost and user cost was proposed, and a Markov-based approach was applied to establish a life-cycle performance model with clear probability characteristics for SBDPS. Representative traffic conditions were designed using a uniform design method, and the LCC of SBDPS under representative traffic conditions and different credibility (construction quality as a random factor) was compared. The reliability of the LCC analysis approach was verified based on the uncertainty analysis method. Based on an expert-scoring approach, a user cost weight was obtained to ensure it is considered reasonably in the LCC analysis. Compared with the cumulative traffic volume, the cumulative equivalent single axle loads (CESAL) have a closer relationship with the LCC. The GA system has better LCC when the CESAL is less, while the EA system is just the opposite. The breaking point of CESAL for the LCC of the EA system and the GA system is 15 million times. The LCC analysis of SBDPS should consider the influence of random factors such as construction quality. The comprehensive LCC analysis approach in this paper can provide suggestions for bridge-management departments to make a reasonable selection on SBDPS.

Basing on the coupled vibration theory, dynamic behavior of steel bridge deck thin surfacing under rand moving vehicles is studied. A three-dimensional coupled model is carried out for the steel bridges deck thin surfacing and vehicle. A method based on modal superposition and state space technique is developed to solve dynamic response generated by vehicle-surfacing interaction. The dynamic responses of an actual steel bridge deck thin surfacing are studied. The results show that adding epoxy asphalt as a sub coat can improve interface adhesion strength, which would be designed as the interface layer of steel deck thin surfacing.

Bridge Deck Pavement

Fatigue cracks are main damages to steel bridge deck pavement with thermosetting epoxy asphalt. By combining a high-toughness resin material with fiber woven fabrics, this study formed an ultrathin overlay of fiber-reinforced high-toughness resin to improve cracking resistance of pavement. Through theoretical measurement and bending test, this research studied change laws of bending and tensile properties of epoxy asphalt concrete after fiber reinforcement and analyzed bending strength and the maximum failure strain of beams at different temperatures. Moreover, the reinforcing effects of different fibers were discussed. It is found that bending strength, maximum failure strain, and stiffness modulus of the beams with epoxy asphalt are improved after fiber reinforcement. With the decrease of temperature, after fiber reinforcement, the mode of bending failure of the epoxy asphalt mixture (EAM) changes from brittle fracture into shear failure, accompanied with significant yield phenomenon. Furthermore, organic carbon fiber is sensitive to influences of temperature, while glass fiber is least sensitive to temperature.
