In this study, parameters that should be monitored during the service life of a bridge and the relationship between the parameters and damage are investigated in order to predict the fatigue damages in steel-concrete composite bridge girders with welded full depth transverse stiffeners. In this context, static and fatigue tests are carried out on steel-concrete composite beam specimens with welded full depth transverse stiffeners. Load-deflection behavior of specimens is determined by these monotonic tests. In the fatigue tests, the specimens are subjected to cyclic loading with various stress ranges, and stress range - number of cycles (S-N) data is obtained. Fatigue crack and fatigue fracture are observed in the first two specimens with the highest stress range applied. As expected, the fatigue crack occurred at the point where the stiffener is welded to the bottom flange. During the tests, dynamic deflection and strain measurements are performed at the critical points throughout the cyclic loading. The parameters which are more critical in terms of fatigue behavior and should be monitored are determined by examining the relationship between the obtained data from these measurements and fatigue damage. Discussions and evaluations are made on the level of safety presented in the relevant code by the comparison of the obtained results from fatigue tests with the code and the important studies in the literature. Finally, the specimens without fatigue fracture were tested under monotonic loading to determine the residual strength. Accordingly, the change in the load-deflection behavior after cyclic loading is demonstrated.

The prediction of residual stress relaxation is essential to assess the safety of welded components. This paper aims to study the influence of various effective parameters on residual stress relaxation under cyclic loading. In this regard, a 3D finite element modeling is performed to determine the residual stress in welded aluminum plates. The accuracy of this analysis is verified through experiment. To study the plasticity effect on stress relaxation, two plasticity models are implemented: perfect plasticity and combined isotropic-kinematic hardening. Hence, cyclic plasticity characterization of the material is specified by low cycle fatigue tests. It is found that the perfect plasticity leads to greater stress relaxation. In order to propose an accurate model to compute the residual stress relaxation, the Taguchi L18 array with four 3-level factors and one 6-level is employed. Using statistical analysis, the order of factors based on their effect on stress relaxation is determined as mean stress, stress amplitude, initial residual stress, and number of cycles. In addition, the stress relaxation increases with an increase in mean stress and stress amplitude.
