摘要
The design of the vertical stiffener details is important in the anti-fa- tigue design of the welded steel plate beams.There still exist different opinions on the selection of the design parameters and the effect of the shear stress.In the present study,the effects of the welding process(semi-automatic welding, manual welding)and the connecting location of vertical stiffener(welded to the web or to the flange)on the fatigue behaviour in the regions subjected to the pure bending and subjected to the bending and shearing are investigated by test- ing the simulation beams of large scale.The analysis of the fatigue test results shows that the normal bending stress is the governing factor to the fatigue strength.
