Special Collection on Fatigue Design, Assessment, and Retrofit of Bridges
Guest Editors:
Prof. Scott Walbridge
Prof. Yongming Liu
Fatigue deterioration, due to the cyclic nature of the loads to which bridges are subjected, has long been a concern of bridge designers. As materials and design methods have advanced and bridges have become lighter, traffic loads have increased and fatigue is increasingly a governing limit state in the design of new structures. This special collection is aimed at synthesizing the state-of-the-art in the area of fatigue design, assessment, and retrofitting of bridges. It includes papers covering a broad range of topics, including: the fatigue behaviour of concrete and orthotropic steel bridge decks, the fatigue performance of fibre reinforced composite materials, the fatigue behaviour of steel-concrete composite bridges, and other current topics related to the fatigue assessment and retrofitting of existing vehicular and railway bridge structures. As papers are accepted, they will be added to this online special collection. Readers are encouraged check back frequently to find more content added to this special collection.
