This investigation deals with the possibility of local failure in 4" aluminum I beams due to insufficient bearing area at end reactions and includes an investigation of the column theory of such failure. A comparison is made between the failure of two types of aluminum alloy, 17-ST and 65-ST. The application and determination of design formulae to determine the width of bearing necessary is explained and demonstrated for the 4” I beam.
