The effect of cracks at one saddle on the static strength of die cast tin-lead alloy T-, Y- and YT-tubular joints

Model tests using die cast tin-lead tubular joints were performed under axial tension and compression of the braces and out-of-plane bending. The effect of cracks in T joints was found to be much more significant than similar cracks in Y and YT joints. Compressive axial brace loading showed no signi...

Zusammenfassung:	Model tests using die cast tin-lead tubular joints were performed under axial tension and compression of the braces and out-of-plane bending. The effect of cracks in T joints was found to be much more significant than similar cracks in Y and YT joints. Compressive axial brace loading showed no significant effect on static strength. However, reductions were obtained under tensile axial loading and out-of-plane bending. (Abstract quotes from original text)
