WELDED BUILT-UP COLUMNS

A research project on the Strength of Welded Built-Up Columns has been in progress at Lehigh University under the guidance of Task Group 1 of the Column Research Council. This Task Group originally was assigned the task of determining the relationship between material properties and the strength of columns. The early studies were concerned with rolled columns, leading to a number of reports of which References 1 and 2 were the preliminary report and the summary report respectively. The attention of the Task Group was directed towards welded columns in 1959, and this report represents a summary of the findings from that time through 1965, as well as a discussion of their significance. These welded columns were fabricated from UM plates and were from 6 x 6 to 10 x 10 in size with plates from 3/8 to 3/4 thickness. More recently, pilot investigations have commenced on welded shapes which are fabricated from flame-cut plates, or from thick plates. This recent work and its preliminary conclusions are described briefly.
