The stress σA at the yield point of mild steel beam of a hollow circular cross section with a radial hole is investigated by experiments, and effects of the radial hole, the outer diameter of the beam and the ratio of inner to outer diameter of the beam upon the yield point are clarfied. Let 2a be the diameter of the radial hole, 2γ1 and 2γ0 be the inner and outer diameters of the beam, and γ1 be γ1/γ0, and the experimential data are concluded as follows : (1) In the range of γ1≤0.65, there is a size effect in σA, i.e., σA decreases as 2γ0 increases when γ1 and a/γ0 are kept constant. (2) In the range of γ1≥0.65, γA is affected by 2a, but is free from 2γ0 when γ1 is kept constant.
