BENDING TESTS OF STRUCTURES CONSISTING OF TWO BEAMS WELDED AT RIGHT ANGLES

This report summarises conclusions from previous static and fatigue tests on welded connections, and describes further such tests on connections modified in attempts to mitigate the weaknesses of the original two types, both by thickening the material and by stress relieving notches. Photo-elastic tests contributed to the latter study. Appendices give laboratory reports and notes on statistics.
