The magnitude of the load applied is 100 kN. The dimension of the beam is 3200x250x150 mm. I have added SN curve and strain life parameters to the material concrete for the purpose of fatigue analysis. The value was obtained from different journals. Also, if this minimum value indicates that the model is safe, then why is there different value at different regions for safety factor, doesn't that indicate the risk of failure at different regions. Or could anyone explain what does actually fatigue life, safety factor, damage and biaxiallity indication (all are parameters coming under the fatigue tool) means?
