Abstract:Old‐steel riveted bridges are part of the heritage asset in many countries. Assessing the remaining life and fatigue strength of their structural riveted details is crucial in managing these structures. According to JRC‐ECCS document Assessment of Existing Steel Structures: Recommendations for Estimation of Remaining Fatigue Life, fatigue class 71 is recommended to estimate the fatigue strength of riveted details. However, the predicted fatigue behaviour can lead to excessively conservative estimates. Hence th… Show more
