    Abstract: A combined plate-beam unit analysis method considering a residual stress effect of an orthotropic plate, which is used for analyzing an orthotropic steel bridge deck welded by a top plate of a bridge deck and a trapezoidal rib, the top plate of the bridge deck is analyzed by a flat shell unit, while each sub-plate forming a trapezoidal rib is analyzed by a plate-beam unit. The welding residual stress of a top plate and a trapezoidal rib is obtained by a residual stress self-balancing condition, and the initial deformation of a top plate and left and right web plates of a trapezoidal rib is obtained by the stress-strain relationship. The combined plate-beam unit analysis method has the advantages of less freedom and high calculation accuracy, so it is especially suitable for structural analysis of the trapezoidal rib orthotropic plates.
