Li, J. (author)Orthotropic steel decks are widely utilized in long span bridges, movable bridges and shorter span road and rail bridges due to their favourable properties. These properties are low deadweight, large plastic reserves in case of overload and aesthetic advantages. Nowadays, more than 1000 orthotropic steel deck bridges (OSDBs) have been built in...doctoral thesis 2015

Liu, X. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author), Li, J. (author), Scarpas, T. (author), Hofman, R. (author), Voskuilen, J. (author)In order to adequately characterize the fatigue response of the various membranes with surrounding multilayer surfacing layers on orthotropic steel decks and collect the necessary parameters for FE modeling, the details of the cyclic Membrane Adhesion Tester (MAT) are introduced. The fatigue damage in membrane interface is related to the amount...conference paper 2015

Van Breukelen, M.C. (author)An ambition is that in the near future more inflatable dams can be applied as storm surge barriers. Hence, the main objective of this study is to investigate the applicability of rubber storm surge barriers at larger scales than currently applied. To achieve this objective the inflatable barrier concept (inflatable barriers applied as storm...master thesis 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
