A PILOT STUDY ON THE STRENGTH OF 5NI-CR-MO-V STEEL COLUMNS

This report presents the results of the experimental investigation of the mechanical properties and strength of columns made of high-toughness alloy steel (5Ni-Cr-Mo-V steel) with a yield strength of about 140 ksi. One column of 195 length was tested in the flat-end condition. Coupon tests, residual stress measurements and a stub column test also were conducted. These tests were part of an overall study of the residual stresses in, and the column strength of, welded built-up and rolled heat-treated A514 steel columns. The present investigation on 5Ni-Cr-Mo-V steel extended the previous work on A514 steel columns. It was found that column strength can be predicted by using the tangent modulus concept.
