Recommendations for the Fatigue Design of Steel Structures

Recommendations for the Fatigue Design of Steel Structures (No: 043)
ECCS - Technical Committee 6 - Fatigue

These Recommendations provide a model code foe the assessment, fabrication, inspection and maintenance of steel structures subjected to fatigue loading. The procedures assume that the structure has been designed in accordance with the other limit state requirements. Work on the Recommendations began with the first meeting of Technical Committee 6 "Fatigue" on April 20, 1979, in Lausanne. At that time, a working document had been prepared by the former F.CCS Committee 9 "Welded Joints", under the chairmanship of Dr. Wallin. During a five year period, nine committee meetings were held and six drafts, including the final draft were prepared. Many experts in the field devoted much time and effort to the preparation of the various drafts. For example, Mr. John Dibley spent a few weeks in Lausanne working on the early versions. Also, Prof. John Fisher and Dr. Tim Gurney gave the Committee the benefit of their many years of experience through several formal and informal discussions. The advice of such experts greatly improved the quality of the Recommendations
