Master S-N Curve-Based Fatigue Life Assessment of Steel Bridges Using Finite Element Model and Field Monitoring Data

The accuracy of fatigue life assessment for the welded joint in a steel bridge is largely dependent on an appropriate S-N curve. In this paper, a master S-N curve-based fatigue life assessment appr...
