Abstract:A common structural feature in steel bridges is the use of twin‐I‐girders as the main structural elements. These can reach large dimensions and high weight presenting high values of local slen‐derness resulting in reduced resistance values due to local buckling of the web. This paper explores alternative structural solutions to enhance the stability of slender webs in steel bridges. The central concept to be analyzed is adding a diagonal stiffener able to transfer the shear loading near the supports, avoiding … Show more
