Zusammenfassung
D.T.M. has performed tests on tension members which include the standard
tests demanded for steel bridge building. The tests specimens were taken from
normal production runs, and fitted with the service rope terminations. The
standard tests included assessment of both the load-strain characteristics and
the endurance data. Additional tests under special conditions simulating wind
and heavy freight traffic have been performed. Also, tests under specific
environmental conditions and tests of residual endurance have been performed.
