N° 105: Good Design Practice - a guideline for fatigue design
English, June 2000, 53 pages
This guideline has been designed for project managers in design offices, engineers in steel construction companies and construction survey engineers concerned with the manufacture of structures subjected to fatigue loads induced by frequently changing actions, traffic actions, wind induced oscillations or comparable actions. Contained herein is a review of the current knowledge in fatigue design and the fabrication of fatigue resistant structures.This document contains information about design that is in conformity with the currently available Eurocode 3 pre-standards, which deal with the design of steel structures. Furthermore, it contains information about fabrication aspects not covered in the Eurocodes.The document should be viewed as a source of advice to be consulted before designing, fabricating, or repairing a structure subjected to fatigue. The document is organised as follows:Chapter 2: basic fatigue theory, modelling of fatigue actions and strength. The reader interested only in the design and fabrication aspects of fatigue resistant structures should go directly to the next chapters;Chapter 3: factors affecting fatigue controlled by the designer;Chapter 4 and 6: factors controlled by the fabricator/assemblerChapter 5: existing weld improvement methods, that is methods for increasing the fatigue strength of selected details;Chapter 7: principles of the fitness-for-purpose approach, advice on methods for repairing structures during fabrication, erection, or repairing existing structures

N° 68: European Recommendations for Aluminium Alloy Structures Fatigue Design
English, January 1992, 63pp
These recommendations present a general method for the fatigue limit state assessment and provide information for fabrication, inspection and maintenance of structural elements in aluminium alloys. The procedures assume that the structure has been designed in accordance with the other limit state requirements of relevant design codes and standards applicable to that structure, especially ERAAS R1.2, first edition, 1978.

N° 43: Recommendations for the Fatigue Design of Steel Structures
English, 1985, 45 pp
These recommendations are intended to be used for fatigue assessments of steel structures and for the development of national and other international design documents. Recommendations are included for : fatigue strength, classification of many structural shapes and details, fatigue loading, a limit state safety concept, quality assurance, in-service inspection and maintenance, fracture mechanics, hollow sections and the hot spot stress method.
