“…Considering that the end of a cover plate is one of the fatigue critical details [17], a number of experiments have been conducted [18,19]. Review of the design procedure of cover plate and shaping details are given in [20]. Proper shaping and welding of the detail ensures avoidance of fatigue failure.…”

This paper presents the fatigue life assessment of a welded detail in an existing steel railway bridge. The fatigue life is assessed based on strain measurements due to the passage of characteristic trains. Characteristic trains are an integral part of the load model formed by "Croatian railways" data. Strain gauges that measure deformations are set at specific locations in order to gain information on Nominal and Hot Spot stresses. Based on this measurement data, stress ranges and stress spectrum are determined and compared to a corresponding detail category. Obtained results in this paper are related to comparing fatigue life of the analysed detail based on local and global approaches according to Eurocode 3 and IIW recommendations.

“…In tapered type the cross-section is continuously decreasing from bottom to top of monopole, and in stepped type the structure is divided into some piece or part with abrupt change between sections [1]. The sections of stepped monopoles can be made circular and polygonal sections [5]. Figure 1 shows schematic shape of a treble-part-monopole with circular sections.…”
