Unlike older standards, EN 13480-3 integrates fatigue assessment. It requires engineers to perform stress analysis for thermal expansion and contraction using the "Stress Range" method ($\sigma_E$). The standard is unique because it allows for different allowable stress values depending on the loading case (primary vs. secondary).
