Abstract:

Distortion-induced fatigue is a serious problem across the national bridge inventory,

affecting many steel bridges designed before the mid-1980s. Because distortion-induced

fatigue tends to develop in bridge connection details, near transverse elements such

as cross-frames and diaphragms, repairing distortion-induced fatigue damage can be

a difficult task, especially when the affected detail is near the intersection of the top

flange, connection plate, and web.
