Book synopsis

Steel bridge structures are subjected to repeated§cyclic stresses due to traffic load. The damage§accumulation of these cyclic stresses can initiate§cracks and lead to the fatigue failure of a bridge§member. Generally, a certain safety level can be§achieved by using the procedures specified in the§AASHTO bridge design standards.§However, changes in the service condition, such as an§increase in vehicle weight and traffic volume, can§impact the service life of a bridge structure. This§book provides an evaluation procedure for fatigue§reliability-based analysis of steel bridge§structures. The procedure can be§utilized to evaluate the remaining fatigue life at a§prescribed confidence level. An application of bridge§instrumentation, weigh-in-motion measurement, and§traffic monitoring on a fatigue evaluation is also§presented. The book will be of interest to§researchers, bridge engineers, and those involved in§the field of structural evaluation and maintenance.
