View License Agreement Source: STP419-EB Abstract For members used in plastically designed structures, the complete load-deformation response is of interest. Experiments on these members must be especially designed to accommodate the large deformations involved and the out-of-plane forces which are developed during the test. This paper summarizes techniques which have been successfully used to test beams, beam-columns, and restrained columns. The loading, bracing, and instrumentation systems are described, and the difficulties encountered during the test are discussed. Keywords: plastic analysis, structural members, beams, beamcolumns, restrained columns, loading, bracing, instrumentation, test methods, compression members Paper ID: STP43793S Committee/Subcommittee: E01.21 DOI: 10.1520/STP43793S ASTM International is a member of CrossRef. | ||
