This paper discusses the use of steel orthotropic deck construction for bridges. It reviews the development of this form of construction and the factors involved in this development. Reference is made to construction details and to various existing design manuals. The Poplar Street bridge across the Mississippi river in St. Louis, Missouri is an onbottopic steel-plate deck bridge. Orthotropic steel-plate bridge decks consist of a continuous thin steel plate reinforced by a system of longitudinal stiffei1ers and transverse floor beams.

This publication aims to summarize the experiences with this new type of steel bridge and to provide bridge engineers with criteria and methods for the design of such structures.
