Abstract: The fatigue behavior of weathered welded specimens of weathering steel (JIS SMA50) and structural steel (SM50) was investigated. Sixty‐six (66) stiffener specimens and 62 gusset specimens were tested under constant amplitude ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations are carried out on intersecting attachments to investigate their fatigue strengths. Two types of intersecting attachments are studied, i.e., the T type with one longitudinal attachment intersecting ...

Abstract: This study reported fatigue test results of 300-mm-wide specimens with three details: 80% partial joint penetration (80%PJP), weld melt-through (WMT), and both. The specimens were cut out from full-scale orthotropic deck ...

Abstract: The longitudinal ribs of an orthotropic box-girder bridge were instrumented to measure axle weights of trucks. The bending stress in the longitudinal rib is composed of a girder component, i.e., the flexural stress due to ...
