| Abstract: |
In a research project dealing with the improvement and the specification of the fatigue assessment for highway and railway steel bridges, the construction detail of a lamellae joint has been investigated. This joint represents a typical transverse butt weld realised on site at plated steel girders with flanges consisting of multiple lamellae. This detail is typical for German bridge design in practice, but almost unknown in other European countries. Therefore there is no fatigue detail category for the lamellae joint given in Eurocode 3 Part 1-9. The paper presents first research results which will allow the application of the construction detail of lamellae joint also in the context of Eurocode design. |
