Abstract
This chapter reviews fatigue in railway bridges. After a historical overview, it discusses key requirements for railway bridges. It then considers fatigue issues in masonry arch bridges, moving from design and materials to particular types of structural fault such as ring separation, longitudinal cracking and distorted profiles. It also reviews methods for analysing the structural health of this type of bridge. The final sections discuss failure in parapets, metal and concrete bridges.
