The tests show that the shear capacity of plastic hinges decreases with increasing rotation. The article presents a description of the tests along with the main preliminary results.résultat d’essaisdallerotationslabrésistance à l'effort tranchantrotulecharge de trafictraffic loadeffort tranchantcharge ultimehingeshear forcetest resultultimate loadshear strengthtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
