Vertical Deflection of Simply Supported Box Beam with Corrugated Steel Webs Including Effects of Shear Lag and Shear Deformation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents an method to solve the vertical deflection of the box beams with corrugated steel webs, considering both the shear lag and shear deformation of corrugated steel webs. The method is deduced by means of the variational principle. The formulas given by this method is simple and practical. Then, a comprehensive analysis on the effects of shear lag and shear deformation of corrugated steel webs is given for a simply supported box beam with corrugated steel webs under uniformly distributed. The results of vertical deflection obtained by this paper are in good agreement with those obtained by the finite element method (FEM) and the model test, respectively.
