This paper summarizes the mechanical performance of the most recent 5-cm-aperture, 15-m-long SSC dipole magnet prototypes. The magnets were produced at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) in cooperation iwht the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL). The BNL magents rely on a horizontally-split yoke with collared ends. while the FNAL magnets rely on a vertically-split yoke with collet-style end clamps. Magnets of both designs are equipped with strain guages enabling us to measure the azimuthal pressures exerted by the coils against the collar poles as well as the axial forces transmitted from the coil ends to the end plates. A comparison of the mechanical behaviors of the two magnet designs is presented. We also discuss how the behavior of the 5-cm-aperture magnets compares to that of 4-cm-aperture prototypes.
