Abstract
Design of members in steel structures for fatigue loading is highly heuristics, and consequently, is normally performed manually. This paper describes an interactive graphical computer tool for the design of steel members for repeated loading and fatigue, according to the widely-used American Institute of Steel Construction design specifications. The software can be used as a self-tutoring tool for teaching the design of steel members for repeated loadings and fatigue. The advantage of such an educational computer program is that the user can design different types of members and details, trying out various options within a few minutes.
