FATIGUE PHENOMENA IN WELDED CONNECTIONS OF BRIDGES AND CRANES. FATIGUE TESTING OF BOX BEAM SLICES

Short slices were cut from box beams and tested in fatigue to give transverse stressing equivalent to eccentric loading of the beams. Results confirmed that no premature failure in transverse bending at the welds was likely with 80 mm offset of loading in the main tests.
