Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures. Part 1-9 Fatigue. Eurocode 4: Design of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures.
This volume addresses the specific subject of fatigue, a subject not familiar
to many engineers, but still relevant for proper and good design of numerous
steel structures.
It explains all issues related to the subject: Basis of fatigue design,
reliability and various verification formats, determination of stresses and
stress ranges, fatigue strength, application range and limitations. It contains
detailed examples of applications of the concepts, computation methods and
verifications.

About ECCS:
The ECCS is one of the oldest European associations and its history
runs parallel with the creation and development of the European Union.
Throughout the 56 years of its history, the ECCS was the engine of excellence in
the establishment of guidelines and codification for the design and construction
of steel structures.
About the authors:
Alain Nussbaumer is professor of steel construction (laboratory ICOM)
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). He is a member
of CEN TC 250-SC3 and chairman of the Swiss committee SIA 263 on steel
structures. He is a member and the former chairman of the technical committee
TC6 Fatigue of ECCS.
Luís Borges is a structural engineer at BG Consulting Engineers Ltd.,
Lausanne. He holds a doctoral degree from EPFL in the domain of fatigue of
tubular bridges and is a specialist for steel and steel-concrete composite
structures. He is a member of the technical committee TC6 Fatigue of ECCS.
Laurence Davaine is a senior engineer at France's national railway company
(SNCF) and is a specialist for steel and steel-concrete composite bridges. She
holds a doctoral degree from the French National school of Bridges and Roads
(ENPC) in the domain of stability of plated girders for bridge applications. She
is a member of the technical committee TC6 Fatigue of ECCS.
The Publishing House:
Since its foundation 1851 in Berlin, Ernst & Sohn belongs to the
prominent publishing houses in the German-speaking countries particularly for
civil and structural engineering. The book program with the emphasis reinforced
concrete and steel structures, structural design and calculation, building
physics, geotechnics and standardization supplies indispensable specialized
knowledge for the learning and training of civil engineers in planning and
execution. The most important book in the publishing house history - the
"Beton-Kalender" (Concrete Calendar) - was published in 2006 in the hundredth
edition. Ernst & Sohn is a Wiley-Blackwell company.
