A review of composite steel plate girders with corrugated webs

الملخص EN

A corrugated steel plate girder is a vastly used structural element in numerousfields of application due to its many favorable characteristics.

A corrugated webgirder, the bending moments, and application forces are only transferred by meansof flanges, that the maximum moment carrying capacity is more than any otherhot-rolled sections used, while transverse shear forces are only transmitted througha corrugated steel web, webs at a greater depth to a thickness ratio are usually usedresulting in slender sections that are susceptible to buckling on the Flat web.

Theuse of corrugated web girders has been increasing in recent years due tooptimizations in the automated manufacturing process of corrugated steel websand a decrease in weight.

Thus, to avoid buckling on the web and to obtainmaximum strength, corrugations are provided in the area on the web.

Corrugatedsteel plate girder's ability to be used in numerous fields of application due to itspreferred properties.

The main advantage of the corrugated web plate girders overthe hot rolled girders is the flexibility in the dimensions of the girder.

Improvementin the plate girders is essential to take full advantage of this asset.

This newachievement has helped engineers to design more optimized structures.

This paperprovides a review of several studies on corrugated steel web plate girders and plategirders improvement
