Fatigue Life of Riveted Steel Bridges (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Many old riveted railway bridges are replaced too soon due to a general lack of knowledge about their expected life span. This indicates the need for more information on fatigue and brittle fracture of riveted bridges. This book unveils extensive research and literature results on riveted bridge fatigue and shows how to properly evaluate fatigue when deciding on the future service life of a riveted railway bridge. It considers the level of stress ranges due to traffic, the effect of temperature and aging, loading histories, crack detection, loose rivets, other defects, and repair and strengthening.
