The work presented here addresses the fatigue damage assessment of a welded joint of a fast ferry’s car deck for trucks with very high tensile steel trapezoidal stiffeners subjected to still water, wave and slamming induced loadings as well as truck induced load effects. The studied welded structural joint is located at midspan of the trapezoidal stiffener which is considered to be simply supported between consecutive web frames. This fatigue damage assessment is accomplished by means of simplified approaches in the several calculation steps, while the whole process is based on the hot-spot stress approach using a single S-N curve.
