Evaluation of effect of deviations in width of cross-section of connected elements

Abstract

The tests were carried out in two stages: at the first stage, the height of the fall of the load was assumed to be insignificant, which did not lead to the destruction of the structure, while its deformation was considered in the elastic stage of the work of materials; at the second stage, the height of the fall of the load was selected based on the condition of bringing the structure to destruction, while the work of the structure in the elastic-plastic stage was studied.
