| 摘要： | This is a final report of an extensive experimental and analytical examination of the fatigue behavior of the welded end connection used on high-mast light structures and traffic signal masts. The weld details commonly used for these connections produce very poor fatigue performance. Their performance is a function of base plate stiffness, weld type and geometry, and number of anchor bolts. Older connection designs produced very poor fatigue performance far below the lowest AASHTO fatigue category. These connections can be improved by increasing the base or end plate thickness, improving weld details, and other geometric considerations. Due to the interaction of the overall connection geometry upon fatigue performance, the fatigue performance of the connection cannot be classified by simply the type of connection. The fatigue life can be improved to fatigue performance comparable to Category B but a similar connection with a thinner base plate can produce fatigue life of Category E. Recommended connections and their corresponding fatigue strength are given as well as recommended fabrication and welding specifications. |
