Effect of crack-inclusion interaction on fatigue behavior of rib-to-deck joints in orthotropic steel deck

There are various types of initial defects in weld joints of orthotropic steel deck, which significantly impact the fatigue crack growth behavior of the welds. The traditional single-crack growth model is not appropriate to be utilized for the fatigue investigation of welds containing multiple defec...
