Abstract:The capacity of composite girders may depend on their web stability; thus, webs could be reinforced with stiffeners or corrugated shapes adopted to increase such stability. Developing on two previous techniques, a corrugated shape was used in a new pattern, similar to a transverse stiffener, to increase the flexural rigidity of the plate, causing the shear stability of the webs to increase. Three composite girders were manufactured using the new pattern of corrugated web and tested under static loading. The re… Show more
