FATIGUE PHENOMENA IN WELDED CONNECTIONS OF BRIDGES AND CRANES. TESTS WITH SMALL I-BEAMS WITH A LOW STRESS LOAD SPECTRUM

This report contains a description of the results of 3 tests, carried out on small I-beams with welded-on stiffeners under spectral load. Plates are welded on the compression flange in the longitudinal and lateral directions. Two sources of fatigue strength data and the maximum likelihood method were used to analyse the results. The available data did not suffice, however, to determine differences between the fatigue strength curves.
