Webinar Series Bridge Fatigue Analysis & Design
This series of webinars will present appropriate background for the basis of fatigue design of bridges as enshrined in North American codes such as
AASHTO LRFD and CAN/CSA-S6-19.

The various topics discussed will include:

WEBINAR-1: FATIGUE THEORY
- Background and problem definition
- Load induced fatigue
- Distortion induced fatigue
- AASHTO LRFD fatigue design approach
- CSA-S6-19 fatigue design approach
- Distribution factor determination (per AASHTO LRFD & S6-19)
