Abstract EN
Fatigue life estimation of metal historical bridges is a key issue for managing cost-effective decisions regarding rehabilitation or replacement of existing infrastructure.
Because of increasing service loads and speeds, this type of assessment method is becoming relevant.
Hence there is a need to estimate how long these structures could remain in service.
In this paper a method to estimate fatigue damage in existing steel railway bridges by detailed loading history analysis is presented.
The procedure is based on the assumption that failure probability is a function of the number of predicted future trains and the probability of failure is related to the probability of reaching the critical crack length.
