Damage Equivalent Factors

Damage equivalent factors depend on the respective components to be designed in RF‑/STEEL Fatigue Members, and they are explained in the corresponding standards. The following list shows an overview of the standards describing the calculation of the damage equivalent factors in detail.
  • EN 1993-2 Steel bridges
  • EN 1993-3-1 Towers, masts, and chimneys
  • EN 1993-3-2 Towers, masts, and chimneys
  • EN 1993-4-1 Silos
  • EN 1993-4-2 Tanks
  • EN 1993-4-3 Pipelines
  • EN 1993-6 Crane supporting structures

If there is no information regarding the damage equivalent factors, you can apply the design requirements according to EN 1993‑1‑9, Appendix A. You get the nominal stress results from the damage equivalent factors and stress ranges.
