N2 - To adequately characterize the adhesive bonding strength of the various membranes with surrounding materials on orthotropic steel decks and collect the necessary parameters for FE modeling, details of the membrane adhesion test (MAT) have been introduced. Analytical constitutive relations of the MAT device have been derived using the same methodology as Williams (1997). Furthermore, using the experimental data obtained from MAT, ranking of the bonding characteristics of various membrane products is demonstrated and the role of other influencing factors, such as the types of substrate and test temperatures. For completion of the experimental investigation, two types of specimen consisting of asphalt concrete surfacings have been tested by using the five points bending test (5PBT) set up. It shows that the stiffness and the bonding characteristics of the intermediate membrane sheet and the wearing course behavior seem to have a great influence on the mechanical response of the multilayer steel deck bridge surfacing system.
