Analysis of fatigue behavior of welded joints in orthotropic bridge deck using traction structural stress

In this study, the fatigue behavior of welded joints in an orthotropic steel bridge is simulated and analyzed. The traction structural stress method is proven to be more accurate and effective, and the predicted results agree well with the test results compared to traditional assessment methods, inc...
