Abstract: The widely used orthotropic steel deck system is vulnerable to two diseases, the fatigue cracking of steelworks and the deterioration of pavement. To overcome these two diseases, a novel composite deck system composed of an orthotropic steel deck (OSD) covered by a thin ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) layer was recently adopted in a super long-span suspension bridge in China. Firstly, the design essentials and details of the proposed OSD-UHPFRC composite deck was illustrated. Then a comparative study by FEM was conducted to demonstrate the stresses reduction effect of the additional UHPFRC layer under vehicle load. After that, the reliability of the OSD-UHPFRC composite deck were explored experimentally: the tensile behavior of the wet joints between precast UHPFRC layer and the cast-in-situ UHPFRC layer was investigated by tensile tests; the fatigue performance of the headed stud encased in UHPFRC layer was verified by fatigue tests. Finally, the key design and research points of the OSD-UHPFRC deck system is concluded.
