FATIGUE PHENOMENA IN WELDED CONNECTIONS OF BRIDGES AND CRANES. STUDY OF THE FATIGUE STRENGTH OF BOX-BEAMS SEALED WITH DIAPHRAGMS SUBJECTED TO CONSTANT AMPLITUDE AXIAL LOADING

Some longitudinal welded box sections sealed with transversely welded diaphragms have been subjected to fatigue tests under constant amplitude axial loading. The results are evaluated according to the normalised Wohler line. In this way, fatigue strength values are obtained for this type of stress concentration.
