## Abstract Residual stresses due to the welding process in steel structures can significantly affect the fatigue behaviour. Usually, high tensile residual stresses up to the yield strength are conservatively assumed at the weld toes. This conservative assumption can result in misleading fatigue as

The fatigue life of MIG welded cruciform joint failing from root (LOP) region was successfully predicted using new fracture mechanics equations. These equations were developed by combining Paris' law and AK~-endurance equation and incorporating an integral factor (Ip), obtained by integrating Paris'
## AM-In this paper the existing biaxial fatigue theories are reviewed. The effect of isotropy, mean stress, phase angle, and notches on biaxial fatigue is discussed. An approach based on equivalent stress is proposed. The exactness and consistency of this approach is verified with experimental re
