EVALUATION OF STRAIN MEASUREMENTS FROM TESTS WITH BEAMS ORE D 130

The report deals with the analysis of strain measurements on both I and box girders butt-welded mid-beam and provided with various welded attachments on the flanges and webs. The problem is whether it is possible to predict yield strength when the local strain ranges near stress concentration points susceptible to fatigue fracture are measured with suitably arranged strain gauges.
