Abstract
A series of fatigue tests on slender web plates, subjected to combined membrane and secondary bending stresses, is described. Results of the tests are presented and analysed, with particular emphasis on the com plex state of stress at the welded web flange and web stiffener bounda ries, and appropriate S-N relationships for predicting fatigue life.
