Abstract :
The paper combines finite Element Method and Fatigue Cumulative Damage Theory to make finite element analysis of repeated stress caused by random vehicle dynamic loading effect on concrete girder bridge as well as the cumulative fatigue damage. Besides, the paper also uses finite element software to analyze the dynamic fatigue reliability of existing road bridges from the perspective of random structural fatigue resisting force.
