*Steel bridge on Hanshin Expressway (at gusset end) [#uc75ebe5]

**1.Field of application [#h7c5b7b1]

>Steel bridge on Hanshin Expressway ,Japan.&br;

**2.Circumstances of Repair [#r592ccf7]

>Fatigue cracks were found in the gusset plate at the lower lateral bracing locations.&br;

**3.Types of structure [#a0ba3931]

>The bridge is composite I-section girder bridge of which span length is 34.3m ([[Fig.1>#fig1]]). There are two kinds of joints in the cross bracings as shown in [[figure 2>#fig2]]. The lower lateral bracings were fillet weld connected to the gusset plates.&br;

**4.Details of loading [#u3f90a55]
>Fluctuating loads due to highway live load. 

**5.Description of damage [#s0b6e256]
>Fatigue cracks originated from the contact locations between the gusset plates and the vertical stiffeners ([[Fig.3>#fig3]],[[4>#fig4]]). The occurrence of fatigue cracking was limited to type-2 structure of the lateral bracings.&br;
&br;
&br;

>Cause of fatigue cracks was thought as follows:
-High stress concentration of the connections.

**6.Repair method applied [#g73569e2]
>In order to relieve high stress concentration, parts of the original gusset plates were removed and new gusset plates were bolt connected to the lower lateral bracings.  Angles, which were installed under the gusset plates, were bolt connected to the lower lateral bracings ([[Fig.5>#fig5]]). As a result, the structure of this repair became similar to type-1 detail of the lateral bracing which included no cracks ([[Fig.6>fig6]]).
