Steel-concrete composite beams are widely applied in bridge structures.The problem of fatigue damage caused by vehicle loads is becoming more and more serious.While research on fatigue performance of composite beams is insufficient in our country and the fatigue design guidelines in current codes are incomplete.At present,the fatigue performance of composite beams are mainly studied based on experimental programs.However,the characteristics of consuming time and high cost of fatigue tests make it difficult to conduct a lot of research.Therefore,it is greatly significant to summarize and analyze the existing research results.This paper investigated the fatigue performance,methods for fatigue design of composite beams on basis of the research literatures and design codes all over the world.The presented studies involved in this paper could provide some reference for the fatigue design.
