Flexural Capacity of Plate Girders with Corrugated Webs Strengthened with Angles

Article Preview

Abstract:

Plate girders with corrugated webs with angles were developed in order to promote the flange local buckling strength of conventional plate girders with corrugated webs. The width to thickness ratio of flanges can be reduced with angles. However corrugated webs cannot contribute to the flexural stiffness and strength of PGCW, corrugated webs of PGCW-A can. A full-scale test was conducted to evaluate the flexural capacity of PGCW-A. As a result, the flexural capacity of a specimen of PGCW-A increased by 163% compared to a specimen of PGCW.
