- Abstract
The application of electric welding to steel construction work has given rise to a need for development of new technique for the design of structures as well as their fabrication. Following upon intensive study of the physical properties of welded joints, definite principles have been worked out which govern the design. In the present article the author discusses these principles, as applied in the design of welded bridge and building structures, and explains, by the aid of numerous examples how the designs may be worked out for various component parts of the structure. The first section of the article, published this month. deals with buildings, under the sub-headings Column Bases, Columns, and Column Splices.
