ESDU | 2013-02 | 20 |
Data are provided on the fatigue strength of structural steel
I-beams with welded cover plates or stiffening gussets between the
web and flange. Sketches of the configurations to which the data
apply are presented showing the location of failures. The data are
applicable to a wide range of steels and section geometries
enduring constant amplitude bending loading for between 10 000 and
100 000 000 cycles. The effects of residual stress, mean stress,
joint size, weld geometry and weld grinding are included. Also
provided are notes on the effects of cover-plate geometry, and weld
types and different attachment methods for gussets.
