FATIGUE PHENOMENA IN WELDED CONNECTIONS OF BRIDGES AND CRANES. FATIGUE OF LARGE BUTT WELDS ON BRIDGES

The report describes fatigue tests on large butt-welded beams and concludes that strength is lower than would be predicted from results using small specimens, or from many codes of practice. Tests incorporated shop and site welds and attachments provoking local stress concentration.
