The present work provides a comparison of current AASHTO bridge fatigue guidelines with fracture mechanics procedures. Speciยฎcally, the remaining fatigue life of several actual bridges with welded cover plate ends is estimated using the AASHTO speciยฎcations. The estimates are compared with predictio

A fatigue reliability analysis is performed for steel girder bridges. The data base for the live load model is obtained by weigh-in-motion (WIM) measurements. Bridge structures were selected to determine the site-specific truck parameters and component-specific stress spectra. Stress cycles are pres
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the eect of longitudinal grade on the vibration of highway bridges. The bridges are modeled as grillage beam systems. The vehicle is simulated as a nonlinear vehicle model with 11 independent degrees of freedom according to the HS20-44 truck design loading spe
## Abstract This review examines recent work that has been conducted on the fatigue design, inspection and evaluation of steel bridges. Research studies to evaluate load histories and the influence of cyclic loads on fatigue critical details are discussed for both railway and highway bridge structu
