Experiments in repeated reversed plastic bending on beams of high-yield steel to B.S. 968 are reported; the results are compared with similar previous work on beams of mild steel to B.S. 15. General similarity is noted, but an appreciably shorter life is found for high-yield-steel beams under similar proportions of their full plastic moments.
