problem is part of a broader

pro~

gram of welded rigid frame knee tests now under way in Fritz Laboratory•. The knees fall into two classifications; those having curved or straight haunches and those having ninetydegree reentrant corners.

The metbods of analysis are

based on those offered by F.Bleich1 , and W. R. Osgood2 , and the results of tests conducted by the National Bureau of Standards 3 •
