“…Further it has been identified that the rotational fixity of riveted connection and the variation in the clamping force of rivets [25] are the major causes leading to fatigue cracking in riveted connection [1]. Therefore, the S-N curve of detail category (also referred to as detail class) are generally used with the nominal stress histories to capture the fatigue damage due to the above-mentioned stress concentration near the riveted connection.…”

“…Therefore, riveted connections were classified as WI-rivet (i.e. WI-rivet detail category or class), which is proposed by the UK railway assessment code [1,27]. The different mean and design S-N curves for WI-rivet detail class have been proposed by previous researchers based on the results of experiments on full scale riveted members [1].…”

“…Majority of the railway bridges in the world are exceeding their design lives and bridge authorities are working on precise life extension methods [1][2][3]. As a result, a significant amount of research are ongoing for development of precious structural health monitoring and life assessment methods [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

a b s t r a c tRail authorities all over the world are paying attention to extend the service lives of railway bridges. The famous Miner's rule employed deterministic or probabilistic fatigue assessment approaches are generally used to predict remaining fatigue life of ageing railway bridges. Under many variable amplitude loading conditions, life predictions have been found to be unreliable since Miner's rule does not properly take account the loading sequence effect. Therefore, this paper presents a comparison of a new probabilistic fatigue assessment approach with deterministic approach consisting of a new damage indicator, which captures the loading sequence effect of variable amplitude loads more precisely than the Miner's rule. The comparison is performed by applying both fatigue assessment approaches to predict the remaining fatigue life of an ageing railway bridge. This comparison intends to conclude the possibility of capturing uncertainty behind loading sequence effect by proposed probabilistic fatigue assessment approach. Initially the paper presents the both approaches. Then the proposed approaches are applied to predict the fatigue lives of an ageing railway bridge. Finally predicted fatigue lives are compared and rationality, significance and validity of the proposed approaches are discussed.
