SPR-3634/TPF-5(253): Evaluation of Member Level Redundancy in Built-Up Steel Members (Pooled-Fund Study)

The goal of the research is to develop methodologies that will allow a more rational assessment of the risk associated with fatigue and fracture of built-up structures and a much better use of limited inspection efforts while actually increasing safety.
