FATIGUE PHENOMENA IN WELDED CONNECTIONS OF BRIDGES AND CRANES. CONSTANT AMPLITUDE FATIGUE TESTS OF I-BEAMS WITH TRANSVERSE AND LONGITUDINAL FILLET WELDS

Welded I-beams underwent constant amplitude fatigue testing. Beam A had transverse stiffeners welded into the beam and lateral steel plates welded on to the flanges, beam B transverse stiffeners in the compression zone welded into the beam and longitudinal steel plates welded on to the flanges. The results were evaluated with reference to the standardised Wohler line. Fatigue strength values differed, but were below design specifications.
