  2. 1. Fatigue Life of Riveted Railway Bridges

    Author : Björn Åkesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; field tests; full-scale fatigue tests; steel bridges; fatigue life; railway bridges; riveted connections;

    Abstract : This dissertation, which focuses on the fatigue life of riveted steel railway bridges, is based on: - A series of full-scale fatigue tests of nine riveted stringers taken from a railway bridge built in 1896. A review of and comparison with the different full-scale fatigue tests on riveted railway bridge members, which have been conducted in other laboratories over the years, is also given. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fatigue assessment of riveted bridges

    Author : Tobias Larsson; Mohammad Al-Emrani; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The majority of the railways used today were built in the beginning of the 20th century. Most of the bridges constructed at that time are still in service. READ MORE

  5. 3. On some Fatigue Problems Related to Steel Bridges

    Author : Roberto Crocetti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; modular bridge expansion joints; full-scale testing; web breathing; postbuckling behaviour; fatigue; riveted connections;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns three specific fatigue topics related to steel members in bridges, namely: (1) Modular Bridge Expansion Joints (MBEJs). Several premature fatigue failures of MBEJs have occurred in Europe and USA during the past decades. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fatigue in Riveted Railway Bridges - A study of the fatigue performance of riveted stringers and stringer-to-floor-beam connections

    Author : Mohammad Al-Emrani; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis is mainly concerned with two fatigue-related problems in riveted railway bridges. The fatigue life of riveted bridge girders is investigated using a series of fatigue tests performed on full-scale riveted stringers taken from an old riveted railway bridge. READ MORE
