Wind-Induced Fatigue Analysis of High-Rise Steel Structures Using Equivalent Structural Stress Method

Welded beam-to-column connections of high-rise steel structures are susceptive to fatigue damage under wind loading. However, most fatigue assessments in the field of civil engineering are mainly based on nominal stress or hot spot stress theories, which has the disadvantage of dependence on the mes...
