Fatigue Evaluation Procedures for Steel Bridges
The report presents a fatigue evaluation procedure for existing steel highway bridges and a compatible fatigue design procedure for new steel highway bridges. Both procedures realistically characterize the actual fatigue stress and cyclic conditions in bridges. The evaluation procedure, which is recommended for inclusion in the AASHTO Manual for Maintenance-Inspection of Bridges, gives accurate estimates of the remaining mean and safe fatigue lives. The design procedure, which is recommended for inclusion in the AASHTO Standard Specification for Highway Bridges, is consistent with the evaluation procedure and utilizes many of the same concepts. The procedure is much more flexible than present AASHTO fatigue procedures; it permits rigorous analysis methods and designs for any desired design life, initial truck volume, and truck-volume growth rate.
