    Abstract The impact of longitudinal stiffener configurations on the structural performance of orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSD) was systematically investigated, with emphasis on U-shaped, T-shaped, and rectangular ribs. Finite element analysis was employed to evaluate deformation and stress distribution under three critical loading scenarios: vertical uniform load, vertical eccentric load, and lateral uniform load. Equivalent models ensuring identical steel usage, moment of inertia, and centroid alignment were established to compare five stiffener configurations. Results demonstrate that U-rib configurations exhibit superior performance in controlling local displacements and minimizing stress concentrations. Under eccentric loading, U-ribs significantly reduce deck… More >
