Abstract
This paper gives the results of a study to determine the fundamental facts on which the utilizable capacity of steel members of structures depends, and to devise methods whereby the utilizable capacity of any member can be determined, as nearly as practicable. The utilizable capacity of any steel member is measured, as the case may be, by the greatest load which statically or repeatedly, or by the greatest opposite lo ads which, alternately, can be applied during the lifetime of the structure (as determined by other considerations) without causing failure, ruin, or seriously objectionable deformation (plastic, elastic, or combined plastic and elastic).
