It is said that fatigue strength decreases according as thickness increases. In the Honshu-Shikoku Bridges, a material which is by far thicker than the one for former bridges is used. The effect of thickness of main plate and diaphragm was analyzed by the fracture mechanics method. The results of this reseach were used for fatigue design of the Honshu-Shikoku Bridges.
