This book was released on 2011 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the results of a comprehensive experimental and analytical study that evaluated fatigue performance of several critical welded connections in the highway sign, signal and high-level luminaire support structures. In this study, infinite life fatigue resistance of connection details in the existing inventory was established and new cost-effective fatigue resistant connections were developed. About 80 full size galvanized specimens of sign, signal and high-level luminaire support structures containing different welded connections were fatigue tested.
