SIMPLIFIED STEEL ORTHOTROPIC DECK BRIDGE PANEL
A cost-effective orthotropic deck bridge panel which is capable of being standardized to facilitate the use of orthotropic decks on short span bridges. Inclusion of a concrete deck in the panel simplifies fabrication details, thereby increasing the economic viability of the disclosed orthotropic deck panel in short span bridge projects. The present disclosure also overcomes shortcomings in fabrication of steel support ribs of the panel by using a cold roll-forming process instead of a press brake to form longitudinal bends in sheet material. The cold roll-forming process further allows camber to be introduced in the support ribs, thereby eliminating an extra manufacturing step.
