... with this. In order to ensure the consistent safety level for assessment of fatigue failure, the design fatigue factors (DFFs) to be used for fatigue design should be dependent on the analysis procedure and premises used. In the present paper, an assessment of appropriate DFFs for piles subjected to dynamic actions...

...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...
