The fatigue design of bridges under variable amplitude traffic loads is not straightforward. To simplify the task, the current Eurocode provisions apply fatigue load model 3 and damage equivalence factors (lambda). However, the fatigue load model and the d ...
In many design codes for roadway bridges, fatigue design involves passing a load model over an influence line for a critical location on the bridge and then determining the resulting nominal stress range. For fatigue design in the finite-life domain, this ...
