STEEL, CONCRETE AND COMPOSITE BRIDGES. PART 10. CODE OF PRACTICE FOR FATIGUE

This part of this British standard recommends methods for the fatigue assessment of parts of bridges (highway and railway bridges) which are subject to repeated fluctuations of stress. Standard load spectra are given for both highway and railway bridges. The methods of fatigue assessment described are: (1) simplified methods applicable to parts of bridges with classified details and which are subjected to standard loadings, and (2) methods using first principles that can be applied in all circumstances. Highway loading is included in this part and is applicable to the fatigue design of welded orthotropic steel decks. However, the stress analysis and classification of details in such a deck is beyond the scope of this part. The fatigue assessment of certain details associated with reinforcing bars is included but interim criteria for unwelded bars are given in part 4. The fatigue assessment of shear connectors between concrete slabs and steel girders acting compositely in flexure is covered in this part, but the assessment of the effects of local wheel loads on shear connectors between concrete slabs and steel plates is beyond the scope of this part of this British standard.
