Abstract
![CDATA[Previous research on failures of steel bridges due to cyclic loading have been examined and studied. The most common reasons for bridge failures are due to force majeure, accidental overload and impact, structural and design deficiencies, construction and supervision mistakes, as well as lack of inspection, maintenance and repairing. Furthermore, fatigue failure is another main cause of bridge collapse. Previous experimental determinations of Stress Concentration Factors (SCFs) on empty tube-to-tube T-joints have been investigated. This investigation resulted in the development of design guidelines for fatigue of empty CHS uniplanar and multiplanar joints. However, little research has been carried out on the determination of the SCFs of T-joints with concrete-filled chords. The aim of this paper is to highlight the research gaps for future research in order to reduce failures of steel bridges under cyclic loading.]]
