Liu, X. (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Li, J (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)The adhesive bonding strength of the membrane layers between the asphalt concrete surface layers and the decks of steel bridges has a strong influence on the fatigue life of orthotropic steel deck bridges (OSDBs). The most important requirement for the application of membrane materials to orthotropic steel deck bridges is that the membrane...journal article 2020

Modelling of membrane bonding response: Part 2 finite element simulations of membrane adhesion testsLiu, X. (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), Li, J (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Tzimiris, G. (author)The adhesive bonding strength of the membrane layers between the asphalt concrete surface layers and the decks of steel bridges has a strong influence on the fatigue life of orthotropic steel deck bridges (OSDBs). The interfacial properties between the membrane and the layers bonded to it have not been extensively studied in the current...journal article 2020

Liu, X. (author), Li, J (author), Tzimiris, G. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)The orthotropic steel deck bridges (OSDBs) in the Netherlands consists mostly of multilayer system: top porous asphalt layer, guss asphalt layer, steel deck and two membrane layers. The five-point bending (5PB) beam test is the standard device in France for characterization of fatigue response of asphalt concrete surfacings used on...journal article 2019

Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Li, J. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author), Hofman, R. (author), Voskuilen, J. (author)In order to adequately characterize the adhesive bonding strength of the various membranes with surrounding materials on orthotropic steel decks and collect the necessary parameters for FE modeling, details of the Membrane Adhesion Test (MAT) are introduced. Analytical constitutive relations of the MAT device have been derived using the same...conference paper 2013

Li, J. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author)In the Netherlands an asphaltic surfacing structure for orthotropic steel bridge decks mostly consists of two structural layers. The upper layer consists of Porous Asphalt (PA) because of reasons related to noise hindrance. For the lower layer a choice between Mastic Asphalt (MA) or Guss Asphalt (GA), can be made. In this paper, a typical Dutch...conference paper 2012
