Abstract:Orthotropic steel deck is the main deck form of long-span bridge structures. In order to deeply study the influence of wheel traces position on the fatigue stress of the steel deck, taking the double-sided welded joint of longitudinal rib and roof as the research object, based on ANSYS finite element software, three typical fatigue wheel trace loading modes are selected, and the hot spot stress history of this part is obtained, Both the loading of riding longitudinal ribs and the loading between longitudinal ribs of the vehicle have relatively large fatigue stresses. The wheel traces should be arranged as far as possible directly above the longitudinal rib in the design.
