... 572 DESiGN GUiDE FOR BRiDGES FOR SERviCE LiFE In Equation C.3, ns and ni are the number of small and large amplitude strain cycles due to temperature changes during the service life of the bridge, respectively, and Nfs and Nfl are the total number of cycles to failure for the corresponding small and large amplitude strain cycles, respectively. According to Dicleli and Albhaisi (2004)
