Abstract:

Most state highway agencies do not perform routine fatigue inspections on highway signs, luminaires, and traffic signals, thereby increasing the potential for unnoticed fatigue cracking. The Kansas Highway System utilizes over 450 sign trusses, most of which have been in service for 30–45 years. In addition to aging support structures, the structural designs of these signs and signals sometimes result in significant cyclical loading due to wind gusts.
