Fatigue performance of orthotropic steel decks with U-rib was investigated based on the specific constructional detailing of the steel railway decks.Two full scale specimens,DECK1 which had the inner diaphragms in the U-ribs,and DECK2 which did not have the inner diaphragms were tested under the static loading and the high cycled loading.Test results show that inner diaphragms in the U-ribs help to redistribute stress in web of the rib and stress in diaphragm of the crossbeam,and hence to improve the fatigue strength of rib-to-diaphragm detail in the orthotropic steel railway decks.Fatigue cracks initiates very likely from the toe of the rib-todiaphragm welds,and both specimens develop horizontal cracks in the web of rib at the position close to the rib-todiaphragm connections.Finite element(FE)model of the decks is developed and the results agree well with the test results.Influences of the inner diaphragms in the U-ribs on the stress state and the fatigue performance of the deck were analyzed.
