WELDED CONTINUOUS FRAMES AND THEIR COMPONENTS. TESTS ON BEAM AND COLUMN SUBASSEMBLAGES,
Abstract
The seven subassemblage tests described in the report illustrate the manner in which these structures may be expected to behave. It was seen that an equilibriumcompatibility method based on the known inelastic response of the beams and beam-columns can adequately predict the overall response of the subassemblages. Neither the subassemblages nor the component beam-columns showed any signs of inherent instability. It was shown that there is no instability intrinsically associated with either the unloading of a beam-column or the change in sign of the end-moments applied to the beam-column. The response of the individual components of the subassemblages (beams and beam-columns) was examined and seen to follow the theoretical predictions of inelastic member theory.
