SHAKEDOWN TESTS ON STEEL BARS AND BEAMS

THE RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS ON TWO-SPAN CONTINUOUS BEAMS SUBJECTED TO VARIOUS PROGRAMS OF VARIABLE REPEATED LOADING ARE REPORTED AND ANALYZED. THE LOADING PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO SIMULATE THE EFFECTS OF A ONE AND TWO POINT HEAVY LOAD MOVING SLOWLY ACROSS THE BEAM. THE EXPERIMENTS WERE PERFORMED ON 1.5 IN. BY 0.75 IN. RECTANGULAR, HEAT TREATED, STEEL BARS AND ON AS-ROLLED, WIDE-FLANGE, TWO-SPAN STEEL BEAMS. THE TEST RESULTS ARE EXAMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH A SHAKEDOWN ANALYSIS BASED ON THE "SIMPLE" PLASTIC THEORY. DESIGN IMPLICATIONS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BRIDGES ARE ALSO CONSIDERED. /ASCE/
