Orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) consist of a complex network of longitudinal stiffeners, transverse stiffeners, and the deck plate itself. Working as a whole, the orthotropic steel deck takes part in the structural working of the overall bridge concept, which in its turn results in an extremely lightweight and durable deck concept.

This paper discusses the use of steel orthotropic deck construction for bridges. is made to construction details and to various existing design manuals. understand design options methods for various steel bridge deck types such as concrete deck slabs, metal grid decks, orthotropic steel decks, wood decks. The “Design Manual for Orthotropic Steel Plate Deck Bridges" is an attempt to summarize experiences with this new type of steel bridge and to provide bridge.
