This paper presents the results of an investigation intended to obtain fatigue data for hybrid plate girders and to determine their fatigue strength at two million cycles. Fatigue tests were conducted on six welded hybrid plate girders with flanges of A441 steel and webs of A36 steel. Web slenderness ratios of 144 and 192 were investigated. A sequential test programme was devised to determine the maximum permissible stress range that will give a life of two million cycles.

The Performance of Walls Built of Wirecut Bricks Built With and Without Perforations

The Performance of Walls Built of Wirecut Bricks Built With and Without Perforations
The literature on the comparative properties of solid and perforated bricks is reviewed. In view of the extensive use of perforated bricks it is surprising that there has been little detailed experimental work comparing ceramically similar bricks with and without perforations. The paper describes an extensive investigation to remedy this deficiency. Bricks covering a wide range of strength and water absorptions were used, together with two mortars. H.W.H. West, H.R.
