Bridge Fatigue Analysis & Design – An Introduction

About The Webinar Series

This series of webinars will present appropriate background for the basis of fatigue design of bridges as enshrined in North American codes such as AASHTO LRFD and CAN/CSA-S6-19. The various topics discussed will include:

  • WEBINAR-1: FATIGUE THEORY 

    • Background and problem definition
    • Load induced fatigue
    • Distortion induced fatigue
    • AASHTO LRFD fatigue design approach
    • CSA-S6-19 fatigue design approach
    • Distribution factor determination (per AASHTO LRFD & S6-19)

  • WEBINAR-2: MODELING & ANALYSIS

    • Beam-element (line) models for simplified ​​​​​​​analysis
    • Refined analysis using parametric modelling

  • WEBINAR-3: EXAMPLES

    • Example 1: Steel I-girder flange design
    • Example 2: Steel I-girder shear stud design
    • Example 3:  Detailing for distortion induced fatigue
