Prediction of fatigue failure of steel beams subjected to simultaneous corrosion and cyclic loading

Steel structures are usually subjected to simultaneous corrosion and service loads which are cyclic in nature. This paper proposes a new methodology for prediction of fatigue failure of steel structures subjected to simultaneous corrosion and fatigue stresses. A model is developed to determine the effect of corrosion on S-N curve of steel subjected to corrosion and fatigue and verified with experimental results. The fatigue damage to steel is...
