Corrosion can accelerate the deterioration of the mechanical properties of orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSBDs), seriously affecting the service safety of steel bridges. In this paper, thirty Q345C steel and four OSBD specimens with various corrosion levels are designed to investigate the effect of corrosion on the static behavior of OSBDs. Then, corrosion damage and its influence on mechanical properties are explored by static loading experiments. The constitutive model for Q345C steel is built considering the impact of corrosion. Finally, a numerical analysis considering geometric initial ...
