N2  -  An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the  performance of an orthotropic steel bridge deck paved with epoxy  asphaltic concrete subjected to a repetition cyclic load. It  involved; the use and mixing procedure of epoxy asphaltic  concrete on steel plate and determination of a suitable mix  proportion for use in paving orthotropic steel bridge deck. An  S - N curve, for the orthotropic steel bridge deck paved with  epoxy asphaltic concrete was experimentally developed.  The test results indicate that: epoxy asphaltic concrete  which contains local aggregate has an average percent air void  less than that required by the manufacturer. The S - N curve of  steel plates paved with epoxy asphaltic concrete is developed  between the range of 15 to 30% of the ultimate load. Two modes of  failure were observed. The five tested specimens failed because  of tension cracks originating in the top fiber of the epoxy  asphaltic concrete. In one specimen there was a combination of  cracking in the top fiber and bond failure at the interface
