    This paper reports on a study of the fatigue reliability of standard AASHTO bridge girder details. In this study, the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) model of fatigue crack growth was used. Reliabilities were found using techniques based on first-order reliability methods (FORM) modified to calculate inspection updated estimates of reliability. Three example analyses of two different details are given. Analysis results of these details indicate that even at inspection qualities significantly better than might be expected in the field, that effect of inspection which detects no damage, has only a limited effect on the estimated reliability.
