“…In the study of stress and de ection of the PCGCSW, the classical Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories were found not to be applicable as shear deformation in the corrugated steel web becomes large. 4) Many researchers have worked on the de ection and stress analysis of the PCGCSW basing on numerical approaches 5) , 6) and recently on the development of extended beam bending theories, e.g., the works of Kato et al 7), 8) , Machimdamrong et al 4) and a detailed theoretical study near an intermediate support by Shiratani et al 9) In this study, an elastic shear deformable beam bending theory is derived. The theory is based on a set of assumed displacement elds: Û, , , as shown in Fig.…”
