Abstract:The present study deals with the experimental behavior of steel beams with a corrugated section, which is approximately equivalent to a compact I-shape plate girder section. Each part of the compact section (flanges and web) was transformed to its equivalent corrugated shape, depending on the available steel plate in the local market, by two plates separated by internal steel stiffeners of a zek zak shape. Six specimens were fabricated and tested in which one of them was considered as a control beam with no co… Show more
