Steel structural plate bolted longitudinal seams are designed by using tabulated ultimate seam strength values published in ASTM A796. The applicability of tabulated values to varying widths of overlapping corrugated plate panels is uncertain. A test program was developed to evaluate the effect of varying panel width on ultimate seam strength. This paper describes the preparation required for test specimens, outlines the test procedure and data reduction, compares test results to the tabulated values to determine the effect of panel width, and proposes revisions and additions to the tabulated values. The test procedure for determining ultimate seam strength has been submitted as a draft ASTM Standard Practice.
