Deformed shape according<br />

to one-sided placing<br />

Perform static analysis on structures with applied static loads and live loads to calculate<br />

the amplitude stress<br />

Set maximum amplitude stress for S-N Curve of steel box and limitation of amplitude stress<br />

Calculate fatigue life (fatigue iteration) and failure considering the influence by<br />

Mean stress correction<br />

When constructing Guss asphalt, the section of steel box temporarily generates<br />

high temperature difference<br />

When constructing previous Guss asphalt, problems arising at expansion joints or<br />

damage cases for the cross clamps depend on the vertical direction of the displacement<br />

Preparation for effective construction plan through the thermal stress examination before<br />

the Guss asphalt construction<br />
