Distortion-Induced Fatigue Reassessment of a Welded Bridge Detail Based on Structural Stress Methods

Typically, bridge structural systems are affected by random loads that can cause significant damage. One challenging problem in this field is the high-stress amplitude associated with distortion-induced fatigue. In this study, the hot-spot method and the master S-N curve method were validated for th...
