✦ Synopsis

This paper describes the analysis of the collapse of a steel truss motorway bridge. The cause of the failure was fatigue crack initiation and propagation in a welded vertical member caused by insufficient weld penetration.

## Abstract Tubular space trusses for bridge applications use thick‐walled tubes. The reduction in fatigue resistance due to geometrical size effects is thus an important issue. In order to carry out a thorough study, both fatigue tests on large‐scale specimens and advanced 3D crack propagation mod
