on the general project "R~sidual Stress and the Con:q:>ressive Properties
of Steel", this phase being concerned with the relationship between
material properties and the strength of columns.
The overall objectives of the project were the determina-
tion of the behavior of columns containing residual stresses, the
magnitude and distribution of these stresses, and the development of
methods of predicting the influence of residual stresses on column
strength. As a necessary foundation for the complete study, the pro-
gram included a determination of the basic yield stress level of A.S.T.M.
A -7, mild structural steel of which columns of the type found in civil
engineering structures would be fabricated. This report is mainly con-
cerned with this basic yield strength.
The determination of the yield stress level and associated
properties, will give a better understanding of the behavior of mem-
bers made from this material. The results will therefore enable one
to obtain a more reaJ.istic meaning of the factor of safety used in
steel design today.
Methods and correlations used are shawn, so that the extent
and trends in the variation of the strength of steel will be apparent.
Both the elastic and plastic properties' are considered.-'\
Within the limits indicated, the correlation of the results
are good, although a greater sample of specimens would be expected to
limit further the range of variation for any particular parameter, par-
, ticularly in the case of residual stress prediction.

I. THE YIELD STRESS--A. JNTRODUCTION
At first glance, there are enough levels of yield stress to
satisfy even the most exacting-connoisseur of definitions. It would
appear that which ever reasonable value be estimated at random for
use in design, justification of it, to a greater or lesser degree,
exists. Further, it is common knowledge that increase in the speed
of testing of a coupon will increase the yield stress level, and that
such a value has little use, unless it is defined by a testing speed.
It is the purpose of this chapter to consider the factors that
have an influence on the yield stress, and to show how a prediction of
this value is possible from the mill reports. To deduce and substantiate
the conclusions, the mill coupon tests were simulated under strict speed
control in the laboratory. Further data were deduced from stub column
tests, using the full cross section. To make the study as complete as
possible, data from other investigations were also included where re-
quired.
B. DESCRIPTION
1. Yield Stress - definition
The following terms are relevant in describing the yield strength
of a steel coupon, see Figure 1.
-The upper yield point, OUy,"the first stress in a material, less
than the maximum attainable stress, at which an increase in strain
occurs without an increase in stress l' (ASTM definition of ryield
point r .)
-The lower yield point, (j y, the lowest level of yield stress imme-
diately following OUy.
220A. 28A -2
•
-The yield stress level, Ojr, the average stress during actual yielding
in the plastic range, which rema:ins fairly constant, provided the
strain rate remains constant. (ASTM def:inition of yield strength:
lithe stress at which a material exhibits a specified limiting de
viation from the proportionality of stress to strain. lI )
-The proportional limit, 6p, lithe greatest stress which a material is
capable of develop:ing without any deviation from proportionality
of stress to strain" (ASTM definition.) 6p is very closely equal
to O'y for a coupon, particularly if the coupon is annealed. This
is not necessarily the case for the cross section as a whole.
-Also, where no definite yield stress level may exist, as is the case
occasionally, a 0.2% offset is used to define a value for compara-
-tive purposes.
It is seen from Figure 1 that a great variation in the magnitude of the
stress associated with the different terms defined above does not exist.
This has lead to some confusion of terms.
Until recently, both the upper and the ldwer yield points have
been used as a basis for the estimation of the yield stress. Indeed,
it is common practice .:in testing coupons to record the yield as the
reading indicated_by the·free 'follower' pointer on th.e load indicator
dial, the actual load having dropped somewhat. This paper will define
the yield strength as the yield stress at the s.tatic level, that is,
the value for cry when the strain rate is zero. (The effect ()f strain
rate will be discussed :in section c-5.) Use of this static level is
logical, since most structural loads can be considered as primarily
static.
.220A. 28A
2. Stub Column Tests-A number of stub column tests, with material supplied by
-3
different manufacturers, were conducted so that an evaluation could be
made of the behavior of the full cross section of WF shapes. The results
obtained provided an important basis for correlation of the yield strength
with test coupons, and mill test data.
The stress-strain curve determined from such a stub colunm
test is of decided use in column strength predictions. As shown in Ref-
erence 1, the overall stress-strain picture enables use of the tangent
modulus concept. Further, other relevant data can be obtained, as shown
below, for the full cross section:
1. Young's Modulus, E.2. Proportional lilnit, op3. The rnaxilnum res idual stress (or=oy-or,), the
evidence of this being at the position ofthe first yield line on the Whitewash, orthe deviation from linearity of the loaddeformation diagram. With as-rolled WFshapes, this yielding usually occurs atthe flange tips.
4. The static yield level, ()ys5. The overall effect of the residual stresses
on the cross section, as evidenced by. the .'Imee' of the stress-strain curve.
In general the speed of testing for these stub colunms may be
regarded as static2• Increments of load were applied slowly and once
yielding had begun, care was taken that both strain and load had stab
ilized before readings were recorded8• The tests were conducted in
either a 5,000,000 pound capacity hydraulic or an 800,000 p01llld capacity
screw-type mechanical 1llliversal testing machine.

~ Tension Coupon Tests
These tests covered a wider range of shapes than did the stub
column tests, due to both their ease of testing and economy.
The coupons were cut fr om the web and flange as shown in Figure
2, and then shaped to ASTH standards, (see Figure 3). The coupons were
all tested in a 120,000 pound Tinius Olsen universal testing machine, of
the screw-power-type with a positive control over the speed of the cross
head. In a few cases, the limited capacity of the machine requred that
the test be continued to rupture in a larger capacity testing machine •.,
Automatic electronic recording equipment was used to plot the load-strain
curve, which generally just reached into the strain hardening range, (see
Figure 11).
The tests were conducted so that the static level of yield stre~s
was also obtained. The speed of testing used was that recommended in Ref-
erence 3, being chosen so that the mill test of a steel manufacturer c'ould
be sinmlated. (Crosshead speed shall not exceed 1/16 in. per minute per
inch of gage length.)
From the load-strain curve then, the following data were ob-
tained; Young's Modulus, Proportional Limit, Upper and Lower Yield Levels
if any, the yield stress level at the strain rate used, the static yield
level,and, where it occurred on the recording paper, an estimation of the
strain hardening modulus. Combination of data from web and flange accord-
ing to their respective areas in the full cross section was employed to
show, by comparison, whether such methods will give an accurate indication
of the yield stress and other data.
The effect of strain rate on the apparent strength of steel
in testing has been given considerable attention, and data is presented
220A.28A -5

that will enable predictions for the static yield strength knowing the
speed of test:ing. Although it has been known :in the past that the strain
rate has an effect, very little data was available.
1t.:. Correlations
Comparisons were made between the results of all the tests;
stub columns, coupons, mill reports, as well as data obtained in other
investigations.
The steel was supplied by Company IIAII· and by Company "B",
for both tension coupon and stub column tests. The results are shown
both separately and combined, for in some cases it was felt that com
bination of the data obtained from the steels of the different companies
could lead to inconsistencies. The data where the values have been
combined will be useful in strength predictions when the orig:in of the
material in question is unknown •

2. The "Mill Reports" for Yield Strength
The mill report for the yield strength of steel is based on a
tension test of a coupon cut from the web of the particular shape carried
out in the manufacturer's own laboratory, as part of his control on pro-
duct ion. The tests are conducted at speeds allowed by ASTM and approxi-
mately the same as those advised in Reference 3. The results then give
the yield strength for a "dynamic" level a'yd, where· dynamic is used as
opposed to static. It will be further defined later •
The I'sirnulatedll mill tests were tension coupon tests conducted
in Fritz Laboratory as outlined in section B-3, on web coupons cut from
the WF shapes. "The speed of testing "s irnulated" that of mill laboratory
practice, and was according to the speed recommended in the previous.

l:. COmparison of Mill Test Results with the C) ys
To allow a prediction to be made 'of the static level of yield
stress rs ys from the mill test reports, a comparison of these results was
made as a ratio of the former to the latter, (that is, \SysfJy mill tests.)
Tabulation of the results is shown in Tables II and III, with the distri-
bution shown in Figure 8. Except for some material "BII results, as shown
in Table III, the yield stress is taken as the weighted static value from
the coupon tests, it being shown later that such a value is equivalent to
that obtained from a stub column test.

2.:. Variation of Yield Strength with the Strain Rate
The yield strength of steel is directly affected by the rate or
straining. This may be regarded as a property of steel, and the phenomenon
has been studied and observed on numerous occasions in the past'. Gen-
erally speaking the greater the speed of straining, the higher the yield
point tends to become, until the limit when. the ultimate load is reaohed
without yielding.
It is realized therefore that the definition of the testing
speed of a coupon is of the utmost :iJTIportance as a particular type of
steel could have an infinite number of values for the yield strength.
Actually, this is exactly what does happenl Nor do the specifioations
take account of size effect in coupons, and differences in testing rna':'
chines4. Although the ASTM has tentative specifications limiting the
maximum testing rate, it would appear that some investigators use lower
rates than others with the result that discrepancies exist as high as
20% in the measured value for yield strength. At this juncture it
should be noted that strain rate does not account for all the variation
between tests - it cannot account for material differences or manufac-
turing methods. However, the difference due to chemical and other man
ufacturing properties can be more clearly evaluated if these superim-
posed artificial discrepancies of strain rate are removed.
220A.28A -9
This influence of strain rate was investigated by Mars'hman5.
This chapter will briefly describe the problems of strain rate and will
indicate some of the results that were obtained.
The greatest practical difficulty associated with strain rate
is its measurement. Although this is not difficult if specially measured,
it is not possible to use an indicated free moving crosshead speed as the
strain rate for any particular machine. This is particularly true with
an hydraulic testing machine. Due to the fact that during testing, the
machine itself is deforming, an adjustment Imlst be made to the indicated
free-running cross head speed to obtain the actual rate of straining. It
is in the elastic protion of the loading that this effect has its greatest
influence, for as the load increases, the strains and thereby the defor-
mations of the various parts of the machine also increase. 'l.'he result
•is that the indicated testing speed (free-running) is progressively de
creased. This state of affairs continues till the yield point is reached.
At this instance, when the specimen starts to plastically deform, the
load is constant and no further elastic deformation of the machine can
take place. For such a case, the movement between the cross heads is
entirely due to the plastic yielding of the specimen. That is, except
for a negligible part of the strain rate being taken up with keeping tl+e
deformed testing machine in equilibrium under the applied, for practical
purposes now constant load, the specimen is "straining" at the indicated
free-running speed.
Although the indicated strain rate bel~T yield point is not
representative 'of the actual strain rate, and therefore cannot be used,
once the yield point has been reached and the load and strain rate have
stabilized, the indicated ratio of dynamic to static yield points has a
220A.28A -10
' .. definite level which is dependent on the testing speed. A plot of this
ratio versus testing speed is shmm. in Figure 10. It should be noted that
the curve is the result of a number of tests of plate specimens, (bar
stock.) All tests were carried out on the same mechanical testing machine.
The dynamic yield stress, O"yd, is defined as the yield stress at
a particular strain rate other' than' the zero strain rate.' The stat:i.c yield
stress is the limit case and is defined as the yield stress at the zero
strain rateo
Tests' have shown that the static yield level may be determined
without actually conducting the experiment in its entirety at a zero strain
rate, which, moreover, would be impossible. All that is required is that
the strain rate be decreased to zero in the plastic region and that a few
m~utes be taken to allow the load to decrease to the minimum. (In the
case of hYdraulic machines, care must be taken that the static level is
approached from the positive side ; that is, no strain reversal is to be
allowed.) The effect of this on a stress-strain curve is shawn in Figure
11, a typical stress-strain curve from the series of coupon tests run on
the screw-type mechanical testing machine. This static yield leve'l property
has not been proved conclusively on a large number of tests, but it is
felt that the series conducted' may be regarded as indicative of the be
havior to be expected, due to their excellent correlation.
Figure 12 indicates a further observation tending to bear out
the foregoing conclusions; namely, that in the plastic yield range the
<Jyd depends on the testing speed, whereas, the r:rys, as obtained by
stopping the movement of the cross-head, is relatively constanto
£.:. Tension Versus Compression Coupons
Although no compression coupons were used in this series of
',.220A.28A -11
tests, previous investigations have shown that, on the average, tension
and compression coupons give results that are almost indentica18. These
results and conclusions will be repeated here in summary form (see TabJ,e
V). Although these particular results are for one shape, 8WF31, exper-
ience with other shapes give the same indications.
Quoting from Reference 8:
liThe 'elimination of compression testing ofcoupons (in the case of rolled structuralsteel shapes) is thus considered as warranted,particularly in view of larger variation inproperties due to other causes. 1t
Compression testing of coupons is much more difficult as compared to the
case of testing tension coupons.
Considering the full cross-section, the static yield level as
determined from stub column 'tests was almost identical with that deter-
mined from the weighted mean of the tension coupqns as shown in Figure 9.
1:.. Variation in Properties of Specimens from Web and Flange
There is conflicting opinion on the sub ject of whether th~
shape and size of a specimen has any appreciable effect on its physical
properties. Previous investigations4,7 have shown that this effect
may exist in coupon testing, but the tests described in this report
seem to indicate that no conclusions can be made in either direction.
This se?tion presents a summary of certain results, shown in
Tables II and III and in some of the figures. The yield strength
,,'both at the static and the dynamic level is considered as is also the
ultimate strength.

Since the flanges are the. controlling factor in the determina-
tion of column strength of WF members both for buckling and direct loads,
the bit and oc:::: (Area of Flange/Area of Web) ratios were also considered~

The stub column values for ()ys were also considered. It may
be seen that the indications are exactly the Sallle as for the coupons,
although the results are less random, that is, the spread is narrower.I

In tPis case, the Sallle general indications hold as for the cases above.
This can be seen from the reasonably constant histogralll. It should be noted,
however, that the results are more random. Since cryd is not defined for
a particular strain rate, testing differences are probably present.

III. RESIDUAL STRESSES-A. INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPrION
The study of residual stresses has been intensified in the
last five years. This is mainly due to an increasing appreciation of'
their effect on the buckling strength of colurims. These studies have
brought to light many factors that have explained past failures of
correlation between experimental and predicted values for column strengths8•
While residual stresses have also been studied in built up columns, this
paper will only be concerned with the cooling initial stresses in ltas-
delivered It rolled shapes of A 7 type steel.
Residual stresses are the non-calculated, ~itial stresses that
are present in a structural member prior to the application of load. These,
in the main, are due to uneven cooling of the member during and after hot
rolling. However, residual stresses may also be formed by various fabri-
cation methods such as welding and cold bending. As a general rule, thej,,~
effect of these other types of initial stresses CJfJ less pronounced.
The measurement of residual stresses of the type in question
(longitudinal stresses) is best accomplished by the "sectioning" method,
whereby the member is measured before and after cutting into longitudinal
strips. This cutting releases the stresses enabling the sectioned strips
to deform freely according to the relaxation of their internal forces.
This method is explained at length in Reference 8~
A typical residual stress distribution diagram for a WF shape
is shown in Figure 13 where the terminology is also explained. Generally,
these distributions may be approximated quite well by straight line seg-
ments. From a knowledge of this distribution it is possible to predict
the average ()'-£, curve including the influence of this variable forthe
full cross section and the procedure is described in Reference 8.
220A.28A -15
It has been shown in these previous studies8 that, due to the
•
,
symmetry of the residual stress pattern, an actual stub column test gives
a more accurate and far simpler means of obtaining the average 6-£ curve
than the lengthy calculations that are required starting from a measured
residual stress distribution. The importance of this average curve is that
the apparent tangent modulus values obtained can be related to the carrying
capacity of the member and thus column strengths can be predicted. It should
be pointed out, however, that while the uknee lf of the average C5"- £ curve
shows the effect of the residual stress distribution, it does not enable
the specific distribution to be determined. crrc , which can be determined, is
the largest inherent residual stress and defines the proportional limit.
B. RESULTS
1:. Residual Stress Distribution in WF Shapes
The results of the previous investigations are summarized in
Table VI, while Table V gives the individual detailed results. This will
give an indication of the distribution of residual stress in WF shapes.
In all cases the method of ttsectioning tt was used.
2. Residual Stress from Stub Column Tests- -----------....-..;;......._..--........~--.....---......-The limit of proportionality of the stress strain curve gives an
indication of the magnitude of the maximum compressive residual stress
that occurs in the flange, C5 rc.
( (j'rc = (Jy _ (Jp )
To take account of local high residual stresses and to obtain
by interpolation a basic value for (Jrc presumed to exist when these are
not present, a <S - E. curve of the type shown in Figure 1h was modif~ed
in the following manner~ The portion of the curve above. the proportional
220A.28A
limit, although with a. very slight curVature, may be considered as a
straight line. The tangent point of this line with the "knee" of the
-16
o
curve is then taken as a pseudo-proportional limit, thus defining what in
this report will be regarded as a basic value for cJ rc, when discussing
the results of stub column tests.
The following results which are shown in Figure 15 are of two
types, the actual residual stress average and, where necessary, this
average, modified value as explained above.
To show whether crr, the maximum residual stress as determined
from a stub column test, is a function of the yield stress or not, the
ratio rsr/ r:5ys has also been considered with 0'r both modified and un-
modified. The results are shown in Figure 16.

~ Residual Stress Prediction
Attempts have been made in the pastlOto correlate the residual stresses
of a shape with its physical properties, such as b, d, t, 'W. This has als 0
been attempted in the present investigation. Unfortunately, the only state-
•
ment that can be made regarding these studies is that no definite tendencies

III. OTHER MATERIAL PROPERTIES
A. INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPrION
The determination of tne yield strength of a material is usually
accompanied by the finding of the eLastic modulus. Furthermore, if the test
be on a coupon, the ultimate strength and strain hardening modulus are also
easily obtained.
This chapter seeks to present additional data on the following
properties:
I •. Young's modulus, E, and
2. Ultimate strength of a tension coupon.
The strain hardening modulus, Est, may also be obtained from
coupon and stub column tests, but its determination was not included in
this program.
The two moduli, E and Est, may be defined as the ratio of stress
to strain in the elastic and at the on-set of the strain hardening ranges.
E is a constant up to the proportional limit. Est is never constant, and
is usually defined at the onset of the strain hardening since it is this
value that is important in solving many stability problems.
The procedure of testing with tension coupons has been described
above. The results from these tests have been enumerated, and the Young's
Modulus will be compared also with the values obtained from stub column
tests.

Tables II and III show the actual experimentally determined
values for E from both coupon and stub column tests. Individual coupon

values are shown as well as a combined value for the cross section, weight-
ing the average according to the respective areas of flange and web. To
check this method, the results were then compared to those obtained from
the full cross section by stub column tests o
The experimental values for E, as determined from the coupon tests,
were obtained from the measUrement of the slope of the elastic portion of
the stress strain curve, a typical example of which is shown in Figure 11.
The accuracy is of an estimated order of 5-10%, which includes inaccuracies
of the automatic plotting, of the calibration of the gage and of the actual
measurement of the slope. The value of E for the complete cross section was
then obtained by averaging, according to weight, the individual values ob-
tained from coupon tests of web and flange.
Young's Modulus, as determined from a stub column test, is of an
estimated 5% accuracy, and is the measurement of the slope of a stress
strain curve plotted to an enlarged scale, from experimental results of de-
1formations over a lOU gage length as measured by the mean of two l"'O-,;";O""OO....--th
dial gages.

l:. The Ultimate Strength of a Tension Coupon
Similarly to the method eIlfployed with the static yield stress,
the ultimate nominal stress in tension for a wide flange shape was deter-
mined ~y the weighted average of'the individual coupon tests for web and
flange. Further, to account for the reduction in area the ultimate strength
is also shown based on the percentage reduction recorded, which is a more
accurate indication of the· ultimate stress. The individual percentage
reductions have been combined according to the weighted average.
It is conceded that use of this method with coupon ultimate stren-
gth is probably extrapolating too far as no account is made of the changed
crystal structure due to the IInecking ll • The results should be indicative
•.
however, since the values for percentage reduction generally do not differ
greatly for flange or web from the same shape.

~ Typical Stress Strain Curve
A typical stress S:.rain curve has been drawn from the above results,
being an average obtained from the stub column tests and other tests con
ducted. Only the initial portiop of the curve has been shown, neither the
strain hardening region nor the ultimate stress being included. Figure 24

IV. DISCUSSION-The following discussion embodies the conclusions and suggestions
that follow from the results above.
1. The yield strength has many definitions. The static yield
stress, crys however, is the preferred value as it is the
easiest to obtain·and also is the stress that corresponds best
to normal structural loading conditions. Further, it is inde-
pendent of time. In stub column tests, by allowing the load. to
IIsettle down", that is, to come to an equilibrium position after
a load. increment, it is the static value that is obtained. With
coupon tests, all that is required is that the rate of straining
be decreased to zero anywhere in the plastic yield range. This
is easily accomplished in mechanical and hydraulic testing ma-
chines, although with the latter a dial gage indicator is re-
quired to show movement of the cross head, and to guard against
strain reversal.
From the results (Figures 4, 5, and Section C-l) the approxi
mate value for <Jys was 33.7 ksi, with a standard deviation of
3.8 ksi. This was the overall average for stub column and sim-
ulated mill (weighted average) tests. It is considered that
this value is close enough to be taken as the usually accepted
(j y = 33 ksi.
These results are also shown in a statistical form, both
as histograms, and as assumed normal distributions on probability
paper. This is further discussed in item 11 below.
220A.28A. -24
It is noted that the results were not dependent on chance
alone but on many manufacturing factors. For instance, it would
be expected that the comparatively large sections would give
small values for cry, while small sections would give larger
values. The amount of cold work, rate of cooling, etc., un
doubtedly played a major role in this situati9'n.
,
2. Mill test results for the yield strength were approximately
27% higher than the true static level, due pr'obably to two causes:
a. mill tension tests are run on coupons cut from the web,
which being rolled thinner than the flange has about a
4-7% higher yield level than the flange.
b. the yield strength depends directly on the strain rate
as shown in Figure 10. Even with apparently small strain
rates" (approaching zero), (Jyd can be 5% greater than r:Jys"
whereas at normally acceptJ~d mill testing speeds, 13-18%
is a more realistic figurel
The strain rate has a pronounced effect. Therefore, unless.,.
it is specified for a given test the correlation of the result-
ing data with other test data is impossible. Indeed, in this
series of tests conducted on steel from the same lot, the simu-
lated mill (Fritz Laboratory) tests produced Gyd approximately
5% lower than did the mill tests. The former used the recom-
mended speed of the ASTM A6-54T (and A370-54T) while the test-
ing speed of the latter is not known although it should be
approximately the same. Testing machine variations could be
the factor, as discussed in item 4, below.
More consistent results were obtained for the
..
220A.28A
One of the more important objects of this investigation was
to see whether the yield stress could be defined by the mill
test. The results, Figure 8 and Section I-C-3, are varied. Com-
parison of the static yield level with both mill and simulated
mill results was considered. The range of distribution was
reasonably good and the average was equal to 79% for the ratio
<J"Ymill
ratio (J ys , with an average of 82%. (In all cases, cr ys<J"ysim.mill
is from weighted coupons.) This again brings up the question of
a standard straiI'l;. rate, and the comparatively good agreement of
the simulated mill results above (similar strain rate results
from steel of different manufacturers) would bear out the premise.
It is difficult to draw definite conclusions from these figures
above, particularly as previous investigations4 have obtained
85%± 5% as the ratio of <Jys , where \Jys refers to stub column<Jyd
tests.
From the above, it is suggested that 80%± 5% is a probable
value for cr ysO"ysm,ill·
3. The procedure described in the previous paragraph was for
the weighted tension coupons, weighted according to respective
areas of flange and web, but the same results would have been
obtained for crys from stub column tests. Figure 9 and Section
c-4 show that almost perfect correlation exists forC)ys between
stub column and weighted coupons.
220A.28A -26
Another result of this study is that the strength of the
full cross section of a wide flange shape may be estimated, with
complete confidence, from tension tests on coupon cut from flange
and web. Although economically this may be no saving, it does
•
enable a laboratory with testing machines of a limited capacity
to obtain reliable estimates. Unfortunately, \Jys and E are the
only properties that such coupon tests will supply, the important
OP and llknee II of the r:J - £ curve (showing effect of residual
stresses) for the full cross section cannot be determined.
4. The problem of strain rate and the determination of its
effect on the yield stress as shown above can only be overcome
by a substantial number of tests on a wide variety and type of
testing machine. Steel from the different manufacturers must
also be subject to exhaustive tests. Since the strain rate in
the elastic range is not too important if held within reasonable
limits, the basis for such a series of tests should be on the
free-running speed of the cross head. It is expected that the
outcome of such tests will show a similarity in ·the r<5Vd versus~
strain rate) curves for different wpes of testing machine and
steels. This trend has been indicated from the reasonable cor
relation between Marshrnan5 and Romanelli6, the former testing
being carried out on a screw-type mechanical machine, whereas
the latter was on a hydraulic machine. Such tests would in-
dicate whether the difference for C>yd between simulated and
mill tests was due to the different testing machines or to dif-
ferent strain rates used o Up to the yield level and in the
220A.28A -27
strain hardening range the type of machine and size of specimen
has a much larger effect than in the plastic or yield range.
This result, however, seems to be of little practical interest.
If it is desired to determine this elastic effect of machine
deformation when the specimen is strained into the plastic range,
a series of strain gages should be attached over the full length
of the specimen to correlate the actual strain rate with the
"free-running" speed.
Tests ha~ demonstrated that a fast method of' obtaining \rys
is to decrease the strain rate to zero once or twice in the plastic
yield range (ensuring no strain reversal).
..
•
5. It was shown that compression and tension coupons give al-
most identical results • This statement is based upon the work
of previous investigations8• The difficult compression coupon
test can therefore be eliminated in all but confirmatory cases.
6. Generally speaking, heavier sections have a lower c:ry than
lighter sections. Similar general statements can be made for
bit and <X ratios.
7. From the stub column tests cond'l1cted, the indicated value
for <Jr is 13 ksi, (With a standard deviation of 4.5 ksi.) • This
is the mean value of the maximum compressive residual stresses
in the cross section and generally occurred at the flange tip•
Further, this value is the complement of the proportional limit
with respect to the yield stess, indicating that the average
value for the proportional limit of the sections tested was ap-
proximately 20 ksi.
..
220A.28A
The above value is a reaJistic estimation deduced from
Figure I, where the ttmodifiedtt values have also been taken
into slight consideration. Attention is drawn to Table VI
where the values 12.3 and 7.7 ksi (compression) are average
values for WF shapes of d/b .:::::. I., and >1.5 respectiveiy.
Since the histograms for the ratio ~rhave "become mucho-ys
wider, rather than narrower, in distribution, with respect to
the \5r histogram, it is concluded that () r is not a function
of the yield stress. See also Table IV. This has tended to be
confirmed by recent pilot tests on low alloy high strength steel
where crr was found to be of the same order of magnitude as11
was measured in A 7 steel •
8. The prediction of the residual stress distribution based
on mathematical relationships between the cross sectional phy-
sical properties has not been successful up to this time. How-
ever, a good estimation may be obtained from tabulated results
already available such as Tables V and VI of this report •
9. .3The YOung'lS modulus was found to be 31.2xlO ksi, with. - 3
a standard deviation of 1.'xlO ksi, the overall average
value obtained from all coupon and stub column tests conducted
in this series.
As with the yield stress~good estimation for the Young's
modulus of a full cross sectional shape may be obtained from
the weighted average of the coupon values.
No effects of size of cross section on the Young's modulus
was noted, among the relatively small number of specimens tested.
220A.28A
The values obtained in this series of tests showed both a
greater deviation among themselves, and a higher mean value,
than obtained in tests of other investigations. 7,8
10. The ultimate strength of tension coupons, Section III-B-4
Figures 19,21,22,lies within very definite bounds wit.h an average
of 64-67 ksi. (This is within the limits 60-72 ksi specified
by ASTI1 A7-55T). These measurements are based on the initial
•
•
cross sectional area. It should be noted that the simulated
mill tests gave somewhat lower results than the mill tests. How-
ever, this small difference was probably due to the slower strain
rate after the yield point of the simulated mill tests.
The ultimate strength based on ultimate cross section is
likewise within definite bounds with 'an average of approximately
135 ksi as, shown in Figure 20 •
The percentage reduction in area, although with a slightly
wider range as shown in Figure 23, is also reasonably consistent.
A difference of 5% between web and flange values was noted sug-
gesting that thickness of rolled section could have an effect.
Considering a weighted average for all specimens, the percentage
reduction in area is approximately 53%± 5%. (A standard devia
tion of 4.6% was measured, assuming a normal distribution.)
11. The most advantageous manner of presenting the data of the
various tests is to have the group results for any parameter'
separate, rather than to have the results classified according
to the specimen. A logical outcome of this, then, is to have
the data tabulated in a statistical manner. This has been done
220A.28A ""3D
in two ways, by the histogram, and by ~ cumulative plot of re
sults on probability paper, using the assumption of a normal
distribution.
Whereas the histogram is a plot of classified values accord-
ing to actual frequency of distribution in the tests, the cumu-
lative plot, and its line of best fit, is an attempt to obtain
a frequency distribution valid for all tests from the small
sample of tests at hand. It is obvious then, that if the histo-
gram were to be constructed from a sufficiently large number of
values, it would approach the actual frequency distribution for
the parameter considered. If this distribution be plotted on a
cumulative basis, the resulting curve is a cumulation distribu-
tion function, which again, if plotted on probability paper is
a straight line for a normal distribution. If the distribution
be skew, a plot on logarithmic probability paper would render
a straight line. The advantage of a straight line is that
•
the comparison of the statistical parameters becomes very simple.
The data obtained were comparatively small in number so
that an estimation of a normal distribution curve from the his-
togram was out of the question. However, .the number of resultsII
is sufficient for an estimation of a straight line in the cumu-
lative plot on probability paper. In practically every case,
the assumption of a normal distribution was reasonably true.
Although in some cases, such as Figure 21, a skew distribution
may have given a better approximation.
...
•
220A.28A -31
For a cumulative normal distribution, by synnnetry, the
mean value for the function considered is obtained from the
0.50 cumulative probability ordinate. (See Figure 4.) Further,
it may be shown.;L2,13,14, that the 0.841 ordinate (or the 0.159
ordinate) defines the standard deviation, s. For a normal dis
tribution 68% of any sample of results is expected to fall
within the range x ± s, where x is the mean.
The standard deviation, also known as the standard error,
is a value for describing the scattering of the observations
about the mean. 12 ,13;14 o The straight line cumulative proba-
bility plot, by its slope, shows the range of the distribution,
e.g. the steeper the slope, the narrower the distribution, and
vice versa.
It should be noted, that when the experimental data are
plotted, the frequency is the ordinate of the curve, but that
once the line of best fit has been drawn arui hence the normal
distribution fixed, the ordinate then is the probability, use-
ful f or future estimations.
Generally, the curves w~e,plotted from the same classified
groupings as used for the histograms 0

V. CONCliJSIONS-Continuing on from the previous chapter of discussions with re-
spect to the limited number of tests conducted, the following suggestions
become relevant:

2. The yield stress should be defined by the "static" yield stress
level for reasons discussed in Chapter IV.
3. The effect of strain rate on the yield stress level has been
discussed in Chapter 1. For authoritative conclusions re-
garding the influence of this variable, a substantial number
of tests on steels from different manufacturers should be con-
ducted using a wide variety and type of testing machine.
To obtain this more precise correlation between strain rate
and static yield stress level as well as between different
manufacturers and testing machines, it would be necessary
that the rate of testing of the mill coupons be observed for
•
220A.28A -33
each coupon test. Then Figure 10 could be substantiated, or
revised. This itself would allow the static yield stress of
any coupon to be immediately determined, knowing the dynamic
yield stress and the speed of testing.
4. This series of tests further indicated that the "static" level
of yield stress for a WF shape is 80%1: 5% of the mill test value
on a tension coupon cut from the web of the section. Standard-
ization to a definite testing rate may change this value.
5. The yield stress and Young's modulus for a given, shape can be
estimated accurately from test results on coupons cut from
flange and web, if the weighted average according.. to respective
areas is used. Th.:J.s is of use where only small capacity testing
machines are available.
