This article outlines a Virtual Monitoring approach for fatigue life assessment of orthotropic steel deck bridges. Bridge weigh-in-motion was used to calculate traffic loads which were then used to calculate “virtual” strains. Some of these strains were checked through long-term monitoring of dynamic strain data. Field tests, incorporating calibration with pre-weighed trucks and monitoring the response to regular traffic, were conducted at Fochen Bridge, which has an orthotropic steel deck and is located in Foshan City, China. In the calibration tests, a 45-t 3-axle truck ran repeatedly across Lane 2, the middle lane in a 3-lane carriageway. The results show that using an influence surface to weigh vehicles can improve the accuracy of the weights and, by inference, of remaining service life calculations. The most fatigue-prone position was found to be at the cutout in the diaphragms. Results show that many vehicles are overweight—the maximum gross vehicle weight recorded was 148 t, nearly 3.6 times heavier than the fatigue design truck.

Thermosetting Epoxy

Epoxy asphalt has fundamentally changed the thermoplastic of asphalt and endowed the asphalt with excellent physical and mechanical properties. This paper analyses the developing technical requirement of thermosetting epoxy asphalt and points out its main problems during preparation and application process. Aiming at the steel deck paving characteristics, the author has independently developed epoxy asphalt binder and tested its performances, the results have showed that this binder can meet the basic requirement of various pavings, and its further research are in process.
