Experimental measurements of fatigue properties of old steel used for a crane runway were performed to capture the influence of corrosion on fatigue life of the material. Basquin’s law was used to quantify the fatigue properties of old steel with different cross sections and with different surface of specimens (polished and corroded). The finite element model was prepared to assess and quantify the various stress distribution in specimens with circular and rectangular cross sections. Fracture surfaces of the three kinds of specimens (circular polished, rectangular polished and rectangular corroded) were studied and they showed the surface crack initiation. The following fatigue cracks developed from the surface and expanded into specimen with radiation pattern. Observed crack initiation areas confirmed the ones expected according to stress concentrations.
