Fatigue system reliability analysis of riveted railway bridge connections

A system-based model for fatigue assessment of riveted railway bridge connections, comprising a number of basic components, is presented in this paper. Probabilistic fatigue load spectra are developed through Monte Carlo simulation of train passages over a finite element model of a typical, short-span bridge. Uncertainties arising from loading, resistance and modelling sources are taken into ac...

Global-local finite element analysis of riveted railway bridge connections for fatigue evaluation

Recent studies have found that stringer-to-cross-girder connections in riveted railway bridges are susceptible to fatigue cracking. Fatigue damage in these connections is caused by secondary, deformation induced effects. These effects are difficult to interpret in terms of a single, applied stress descriptor, which is customarily used in an S-N assessment. In order to address this problem, and,...

Probabilistic fatigue load spectra for riveted railway bridges

This paper presents a probabilistic load model for fatigue assessment of old metallic railway bridges. The traffic basis of the model consists of trains obtained from past records and present-day trains obtained from codes. The traffic is divided into four distinct time periods each associated with particular characteristics in rail traffic. Traffic evolution scenarios for the future, in terms ...

Probabilistic fatigue life estimates for riveted railway bridges

A large percentage of the railway bridges in the UK rail network and around Europe are of riveted construction exceeding in many cases 100 years of age. The remaining fatigue life of these bridges is difficult to estimate due to the uncertainties regarding the fatigue behaviour of wrought-iron and older steel material, which was used for their construction, as well as the actual loading and the...

Fatigue strengthening of riveted girders in a historic railway metallic bridge in Switzerland using pre-stressed un-bonded CFRP laminates

In this paper, the applicability of the constant life diagram (CLD) methodology for fatigue strengthening of metallic members is described. The CLD methodology is a method that uses the combined effect of alternating stress, mean stress and material properties to predict the material life-time under high-cycle fatigue loading. The method could be used most efficiently to improve resistance to c...
