The applicability of reliability-based inspection planning for steel bridges based on fatigue crack detection
A damage tolerance method for fatigue assessment opens the possibility of combining theoretical assessments with inspection results. This is widely accepted in the aerospace and offshore industries but is rarely implemented in the assessment of bridges. In this paper, an investigation on the applicability of a damage tolerance approach is presented for bridge specific conditions regarding geometry, loading and reliability level. A probabilistic model is defined and used for the reliability estimation. The result shows that conventional inspection methods can provide enough information to update the reliability resulting in an increased fatigue life. ; QC 20170822
