n direct stress only, tension, or compression, are so bent as to have to act as beams, and they break from bending stress instead of from direct tension as they should. That is, instead of having one beam of the full depth of the yoke, from inside to outside flange, we have two shallow beams, each… … posts, all cast in one piece. It is absolutely essential to both strength and rigidity, especially for the latter, that these shearing stresses should be resisted. A further defect in designs, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, is the angle in the outer flangp at bottom. This flange is in tension, both on…
