The paper presents the fatigue life for axial load and rotating bending for S355J2+C structural steel. The tests were carried out on standard testing machine Instron 8874 (axial load) and a rotating bending test stand. The analytical models calculating the fatigue life at bending load to the fatigue life at axial load were verified.
