With the steel plate pre-stress method, it is considered to be possible for the reinforcing plate to be decreased in size in comparison with the conventional reinforcing method, since both live load and dead-load can be reduced or changed to compressive stress by compressive pre-stressing. Monotonic and fatigue loading tests are reported using full-scale girder specimens with notch.}, pages = {77--86}, title = {Reinforcing a Notched Steel Girder End by Steel Plate Pre-Stressing}, volume = {48}, year = {2006} }
