Development Of A Simplified Finite Element Approach For Frp Bridge Decks.
… bridges in Florida typically use open steel grid decks due to the weight limitations. However, these decks present rideability, environmental, and maintenance problems, for they are typically less skid resistant than a solid riding surface, create loud noises, and allow debris to fall through the …

Characterisation of bridge-track interaction of a multi-span viaduct subjected to heavy haul loading
… a result of temperature, braking, traction, and deck movement. The interaction of these forces between the rail and the bridge is therefore known as Track-Bridge-Interaction (TBI). Therefore, the horizontal forces must be precisely managed to prevent rail failure. This research presents a …

Investigation of the Structural Behavior of Asphalt/Wood Deck Systems for Girder Bridges
Glue laminated wood deck systems are commonly used for bridge decks on girder bridge systems. These decks are usually covered with a hot-mix asphalt wearing surface in conjunction with a bituminized fabric sheet waterproofing membrane. Often cracks occur in the asphalt at the intersection of two …

Modeling Compressive Stress Distributions at the Interface between a Pallet Deck and Distribution Packaging
… distributions at the interface between a pallet deck and packaging as a function of: pallet deck stiffness, packaging stiffness, and pallet joint fixity. The developed models were validated by comparison to the results of physical testing of the unit load section. Design variables required for …
