Shear strength and design of trapezoidally corrugated steel webs

Flexural behavior of prestressed composite beams with corrugated web: Part I. Development and analysis

“…As shown conceptually in Fig. 4, the flexural members with corrugated web have improved structural stability against non-symmetrical load because their shear buckling strength by the in-plane and out-of-plane load are relatively greater than typical wide flange beams [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Furthermore, the web can be considerably thinner than that of existing wide flange beam and the amount of stiffener can be drastically reduced so that it allows a more economical use of expensive steel members than previously possible [1].…”

“…Recently, Abbas et al [20], Sayed-Ahmed [31], and Moon et al [23] extended their studies to the evaluation of lateral-torsional buckling strength of steel beams with corrugated web subjected to in-plane load. There have been, of course, many other researches on the shear buckling strength of steel beams with corrugated web [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], and they reported that the in-plane and out-of-plane shear buckling strengths of the beams with corrugated web were superior to the typical wide flange beam due to the geometric advantages of corrugated web. Huang et al [14], Egaaly et al [15], El-Metwally and Loov [16], and Khalid et al [17] conducted experiments on the accordion effect of steel beams with corrugated web and performed finite element analysis as well.…”

The Efficiency of Structural Steel Section with Perforated-Corrugated Web Profile Subjected to Shear Loading Condition

“…In case of trapezoidally corrugated steel web, a few researchers such as Moon et al (2009), Yi et al (2008) and Nie et al (2013) had studied the shear strength and design of this corrugated steel web. Trapezoidally corrugated steel plates have been used as the web of pre-stressed concrete box-girder bridges to reduce dead load and increase structural efficiency.…”

Combined shear and patch loading of girders with corrugated webs

“…Research in this topic was started by Easley and McFarland [9] in 1969, they proposed a global shear buckling equation for corrugated webs by treating the corrugated web as an orthotropic flat web. Experimental investigations were completed by Elgaaly et al [10], Yamazaki [11], Bergfelt et al [12], Driver et al [13], Scheer [14], and Moon et al [15] focusing on the determination of the shear buckling resistance of corrugated web girders. Numerical investigations were executed by Lou and Edlund in [16] and by Jongwon et al [17] where the different geometric parameters (web depth (h w ), span (L), web thickness (t w ), corrugation depth (a 3 ), corrugation angle (α) and the fold length (a 1 and a 2 ) were analyzed.…”
