%X <p>FE models related to the master thesis with the name: Deciding where to verify the fatigue resistance of an orthotropic steel bridge deck</p><p><br></p><p>This contains a total of 11 different FE model which all model the behaviour of a single bridge.</p><ul><li>4 models are made of 2D elements and do not contain any weld details. The difference is the mesh refinement applied at the welds at the connection between the trough webs and the deck plate</li><li>4 models are made of 2D elements and do contain weld details according to the Dutch regulations (ROK 2.0). The weld details are at the point for which the model is made. At this point the maximum stress interval is determined. The different points are point: A, B, 1, 2. The locations of this point can be found in the master thesis these model were generated for. Or, by opening the models and observing the location of the mesh refinement.</li><li>2 models are made of 1D ellements. They are used to research the difference between the choice of modelling of the cross section of the stiffeners. Either "open" or "closed"</li><li>1 1D models is used the research the response of the main girders due to the loads applied on them by the cross beams</li></ul><p><br></p>
