High Frequency Mechanical Impact Treatment - Recommendations for the design of welded details in road and railway bridges
Report, 2024
The bridge industry has shown a great interest in utilizing the benefits of HFMI-treatment both in the design of new bridges and for the purpose of fatigue life extension of existing ones. The aim of this document is to facilitate and support a safe application of HFMI treatment on steel and composite road and railway bridges. The design method outlined in this guidelines document is compatible with the rules stipulated in Annex F of the upcoming (updated) version of EN 1993-1-9.
