Owing to the orthotropic feature of steel decks, a transverse clapboard and rib can lead to a concentration of stress. Consequently, fatigue cracks are often identified in asphalt concrete pavement layers due to re-compaction caused by heavy vehicles. This study aims to derive an evaluation method of fatigue life for asphalt pavement based on the inhomogeneous Poisson stochastic process in view of the highly random and uncertain working conditions of layered composite structures. According to the inhomogeneous Poisson stochastic process, along with Miner\u2019s fatigue damage accumulation theory and the linear elastic fracture mechanics theory, the fatigue life formula could be deduced. Meanwhile, fatigue experiments for asphalt concrete are designed to investigate the correlation between the theoretical formula and the actual fatigue damage life of the material. Compared with the test, the accuracy error is within 10%, which is better than other traditional methods. Therefore, the fatigue life prediction model could better reflect the loading order effect and the interaction between loads, providing a new path for the fatigue reliability design of steel bridge deck asphalt pavement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma17040780","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,6]],"date-time":"2024-02-06T07:50:12Z","timestamp":1707205812000},"page":"780","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Evaluation Method of Fatigue Life for Asphalt Pavement on the Steel Bridge Deck Based on the Inhomogeneous Poisson Stochastic Process"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Xunqian","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Civil Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guozhi","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Civil Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fengyi","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Civil Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"},{"name":"Nantong Highway Development Center, Nantong 226007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shue","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Civil Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"},{"name":"Nantong Highway Development Center, Nantong 226007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intelligent Transportation System Research Center, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Civil Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Civil Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chen","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Civil Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"478","DOI":"10.1002\/stab.200710052","article-title":"Orthotrope Fahrbahnplatte-Entwicklungen und M\u00f6glichkeiten f\u00fcr die Zukunft","volume":"76","author":"Wolchuk","year":"2007","journal-title":"Stahlbau"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"102039","article-title":"Reliability-based indicator for Post-earthquake traffic flow capacity of a highway bridge","volume":"89","author":"Seyed","year":"2021","journal-title":"Strusafe"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"803","DOI":"10.1007\/s11709-020-0644-1","article-title":"Design and construction of super-long span bridges in China: Review and future perspectives","volume":"14","author":"Huang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Front.
