ABSTRACT:
The orthotropic steel plate deck bridge with a double rib system, is a structural steel member with a steel plate deck welded to a closed steel rib which further is welded to an open steel rib. The double rib system has the capacity to transfer the loads from the bridge deck to the steel bridge structure. The double rib system is used for steel bridges particularly for long spans due to its reduced dead load.
