Fatigue Assessment of Steel-UHPC Lightweight Composite Deck Based on Multiscale FE Analysis: Case Study

AbstractA lightweight steel–ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) composite deck (LWCD) was developed for alleviating deterioration issues in orthotropic steel decks (OSDs). In recent years, the LW...
