A new type of preflex I-girder with corrugated steel web has been proposed to provide better solution for urban elevated bridge. The purpose of this study is to explore shear stress distribution and deflection of such preflex I-girder. Shear stress distribution in section of steel-concrete composite girder was analyzed by shearing stress integral equation and piecewise function, and a quarter-scale preflex I-girder with corrugated steel web was fabricated and tested. Experimental and analytical results show that the shear stiffness is only depends on corrugated steel web, and the shear stress is uniformly distributed along the height of corrugated web. It is found that the proposed shear stress equation is consistent with the experimental result and the deflection integral equation is agreed well with the FEA result. The result suggests that the shear deflection is as larger as 25.8% of the total deflection, and should take shearing deflection into consideration.
