| Abstract | Beams, built-up by welding angular bars and round bars, were
loaded to failure to investigate the application of plastic design
methods to open-web steel beams.
A total of ten latticed steel beams with different conditions of
support and loading were designed, re-analyzed, fabricated, and tested.
Plastic and working load design methods were compared for simplicity
of analysis and economy of design.
The anticipated ultimate loads were not attained because of
unexpected local failures which caused collapse prior to the estimated
ultimate loads. The chords at the points of failure showed signs of
yielding but the buckling of the members prevented the redistribution
of moment.
The factors which primarily affected the beam behavior under load
were: instability, residual stresses, and secondary stresses. |
