N2 - A dragline is a large piece of mining equipment with a boom length of about 100m, used to lift a total bucket weight of approximately 180-210 tons. The boom of a dragline may be made up of welded, large thick-walled circular hollow sections (CHS). The connections consist of a main chord member with 3- to 5- lacing members, all welded to the chord at one point forming a complex overlapped joint. Fatigue is a critical design consideration. This paper summarizes the research carried out at Monash University in the last few years on fatigue of Dragline tubular structures.
