A new built-up closed-rib section is proposed that may improve the installation, performance, and durability of orthotropic steel bridge decks. The rib is composed of two partial or whole standard hot-rolled steel sections which are connected by a steel plate. The concept is used to design a built-up closed-rib replacement for the Benjamin Franklin Bridge deck. In addition, section performance was compared with the actual bulb section as well as a typical trapezoidal section through finite element simulations. The analyses indicate that the built-up section has smaller stress concentration values as compared with the other sections, and hence, improved fatigue resistance is expected. Finally, it is concluded that the built-up rib has potential to be considered in future orthotropic steel deck designs.
