Abstract Many cracks have been discovered in steel orthotropic decks during the past 12 years. They occurred either at the rib-to-deck plate junction or at the rib-to-floor beam junction, depending on local facts. Frequent inspections on a large number of decks allowed observation of their appearance and progress in order to set up a plan of action and repair. In the light of finding this damage certain measures can be recommended to ensure good structural behaviour of orthotropic decks, such as using thicker plates and making edge preparation compulsory.
