Abstract
The contribution describes the main results of two Prague experimental investigations into the ‘breathing’ of slender steel webs, the first of them focusing on web breathing under repeated partial edge loading and the other upon that under repeated shear. The effect of the initiation and propagation of cracks in breathing webs on the failure mechanisms and the ultimate load behaviour of steel plate girders is studied.
