Prediction of Fatigue Life of a Continuous Bridge Girder Based on Vehicle Induced Stress History

The fatigue damage assessment of bridge components by conducting a full scale fatigue testing is often prohibitive. A need, therefore, exists to estimate the fatigue damage in bridge components by a simulation of bridge-vehicle interaction dynamics due to the action of the actual traffic. In the pre...
