Fingerplate expansion joints are commonly used in bridges to accommodate large movements in bridge decks, often due to thermal expansion or contraction. Although these joints are designed to last the bridge’s lifetime, they have experienced premature degradation under high-volume vehicular loads. Damage to these joints can compromise structural integrity and endanger public safety. To address this, a series of experimental fatigue tests were conducted to simulate cyclic vehicular loading, with the goal of identifying the controlling failure modes and refining design practices for fingerplate expansion joints. The study involved constructing fingerplate joint specimens based on standard Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) designs, incorporating three design variables: fingerplate thickness, flange stiffeners, and concrete embedment. Additionally, two optimized designs were developed and tested under both fatigue and static loading conditions. Two distinct failure types were observed in the specimens. Specimens with flange stiffeners experienced fatigue failure, characterized by crack propagation through the back weld of the fingerplate to the supporting beam. In contrast, specimens without flange stiffeners failed due to serviceability issues, as they could not sustain the required load before reaching the maximum allowable deformation, leading to buckling of the supporting beam’s top flange. The optimized designs showed no fatigue degradation and exhibited increased ultimate strengths compared to the standard MoDOT designs. Overall, a thicker fingerplate improved the stiffness and fatigue performance of the expansion joint, while bolted connections effectively eliminated the crack propagation fatigue failure observed in many specimens and in the field.
