11. V�chting recorded that cuttings from the terminal shoots immediately developed into normal plants with orthotropic growth. 12. They were formed by a rectangular grid of flat planks, in a sort of orthotropic deck. 13. Orthotropic growth is when the scion begins to grow in the same upward manner as the ortet.14. It consists of spans between, with the roadway also built as an orthotropic deck with thick plates. 15. Another example of an orthotropic material is sheet metal formed by squeezing thick sections of metal between heavy rollers. 16. Orthotropic decks permit a very shallow deck depth which reduces the steepness of approach gradients and hence their costs.17. Arches were replaced with a simple steel girder set covered with orthotropic deck, 24.4 meters wide. 18. A steel orthotropic deck, steel open grate deck or a timber deck are alternatives to a concrete deck. 19. The choice of a box girder bridge and the orthotropic deck were chosen because it gave the lower material use. 20. Orthotropic materials are a subset of anisotropic materials; their properties depend on the direction in which they are measured.
