... from pile driving has been performed by probabilistic analysis based on: uncertainty with respect to dynamic cyclic stress during pile driving, and fatigue capacity of circumferential welds in piles. Accumulated probabilities of fatigue failures in pile butt welds are presented. An assessment...

...Inge Lotsberg; Stig Wästberg; Hugo Ulle; Per Haagensen; Michael E. Hall Design S-N curves in design codes are based on fatigue test data, where the stress cycle is under external tension load. It is observed that during pile driving most of the stress cycle is compressive and the design procedure...
