ON FATIGUE DAMAGE ESTIMATION OF RAILWAY BRIDGE MEMBERS THROUGH ACTUAL TRAIN LOADING

A KIND OF FATIGUE LIFE ESTIMATING METHOD COMBINING THAT OF CORTEN AND DOLAN WITH MODIFIED RANGE-PAIR COUNT METHOD IS SUGGESTED, WHICH IS PRACTICAL TO CALCULATE THE FATIGUE DAMAGE OF EXISTING RAILWAY BRIDGE MEMBERS. THE RESULT OF THE ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATIONS OF THIS METHOD ON SIMPLY SUPPORTED GIRDERS SHOWS THAT EQUIVALENT NUMBERS OF LOADING CYCLE DEPEND ON THE SPAN LENGTH OF THE GIRDER AND THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE WHEEL AXLES. /AUTHOR/
