The fast-growing traffic loads may become a safety hazard for existing bridges especially in developing countries. One of the problems induced by heavy traffic loads is the fatigue damage accumulation of the welded joints in steel bridge decks. This study utilized a stochastic traffic flow model and a novel computational framework for estimating fatigue reliability of orthotropic steel bridge decks using site-specific traffic data. The stochastic traffic flow is demonstrated as an effective approach for converting the probabilistic characterist...
