Abstract
To address the inadequate fatigue life of a riveted steel truss bridge, field testing was undertaken to determine actual stresses in the critical members under traffic loading. Data was collected using magnetically attached acoustic strain gauges, and was processed on-site. Following post-processing and verification, the remaining safe fatigue life was determined to be +32 years; the bridge was determined to be safe from fatigue problems for its remaining desired service life.
