If I know for sure a steel member and its connection is under compression. Eg. Steel Arch splice full pen weld.
Live load will only change the magnitude of compression but not the sign.
Do I still need to check the fatigue as per AASHTO or other codes.
It is a real question I have from my job. I am thinking theoretically I should check. But actually it won't control.
Thanks.
