Bridge Fatigue – Analysis and Design
SOFiSTiK AG and Spannovation are running a webinar series about Bridge Fatigue Analysis and design this November.
This series of webinars will present the background for the basis of fatigue design of bridges according to North American codes such as AASHTO LRFD and CAN/CSA-S6-19.
The various topics discussed will include:
WEBINAR-1: FATIGUE THEORY (November 4, 2020)
- Background and problem definition
- Load induced fatigue
- Distortion induced fatigue
- AASHTO LRFD fatigue design approach
- CSA-S6-19 fatigue design approach
WEBINAR-2: MODELING & ANALYSIS (November 11, 2020)
- Beam-element (line) models for simplified analysis
- Refined analysis using parametric modelling
WEBINAR-3: EXAMPLES (November 18, 2020)
- Example 1: Steel I-girder flange design
- Example 2: Steel I-girder shear stud design
- Example 3: Detailing for distortion induced fatigue
Webinar host and presenter: Saqib Khan, PEng, PE, SE (Spannovation)
Webinar Presenter: Andrés von Breymann (Sofistik AG)
