Strain Monitoring-Based Fatigue Assessment and Remaining Life Prediction of Stiff Hangers in Highway Arch Bridge

The fatigue problem of hangers is fatal for the safety of the whole bridge structure. The objective of this study is to present a strain monitoring-based method to assess the fatigue performance of stiff hangers in highway arch bridges and predict their remaining life. A vehicle–bridge interaction s...
