ALFABET 2.0: Datengrundlage zur DIN EN 1999-1-3

ALFABET 2.0: data basis of DIN EN 1999-1-3. Within an AiF research project (IGF-18629) about low cycle fatigue of aluminum structures, the Chair of Metal Structures at the Technical University of Munich reconstructed parts of the data base of DIN EN 1999-1-3. The objective was, to get a compendium of fatigue tests for statistic evaluation of the experimental background of structural details and design lines. The original data base from 1990 did not run any more on contemporary hardware and respectively wasn't maintained any more. However, the original test data sheets were still available in exported forms from the data base. On that basis the new databank ALFABET 2.0 was built, completed with new data and currently provides approximately 2 500 fatigue tests on basic material, joints and full-beam tests from the period 1960–2018. In the foreground of the former and present structure of the database is the evaluation of the influence of notches and the mean stress on the fatigue strength, which is to serve by a broad test basis for the derivation of fail-safe design lines.
