WELDED CONTINUOUS FRAMES AND THEIR COMPONENTS, TESTING TECHNIQUES FOR RESTRAINED BEAM-C>LUMNS,

Abstract

Although it is not the intent of this report to discuss actual rest results, Fig. 23 is included as a typical test result obtained from the testing set-up. Table I presents a summary of tests so far performed. The testing arrangement described in this report allows representative structural subassemblages to be t5sted under conditions of no-sway or sway. Thus it is possible to investigate the behavior of beams and columns under real rather than simulated conditions and furthermore the behavior of the subassemblage itself may be studied. The critical member remains the column; however, it is now possible to measure the effect of elastoplastic restraints and loads on the behavior of the column and to further utilize its basic strength and ductility.
