This paper evaluates the accuracy and ease of use of 12 of the most promising models for
the shear resistance of transversely stiffened steel I-girders. Several models that are well …

Curved steel plate girders are often utilized in bridges built in congested urban areas, where
intricate plan alignments are required. Their performance and design is, however, more …

This paper presents a novel experimental investigation into the pre-and postcritical behavior
of steel-plate girders in shear. We have quantitatively scrutinized the deformation behavior …

This paper investigates the structural working behavior of a large-curvature continuous steel
box-girder bridge model undergoing a full loading process, applying a new numerical shape …

Ultimate strength tests on plate girders curved in plan containing centrally placed circular
web openings are reported. Girders, built up of Grade 43A rolled steel plates, were tested to …

A novel 3D elastic total Lagrangian formulation is developed for the numerical analysis of
steel–concrete composite beams which are curved in-plan. Geometric nonlinearities are …

This paper investigates, for the first time, the behaviour and design of railway double track
open timber floor plate girder deck steel bridges under combined buckling modes including …

The paper is concerned with the effects of circular or square web openings on the ultimate
strength of horizontally curved composite plate girders. Finite element analysis using the …

The paper is concerned with the behavior of tapered steel plate girders, primarily subjected
to shear loading; experimental as well as finite element results obtained from the studies are …

This research studies the development of lateral thermal expansion forces on a curved
railway track. The geometric alignment of a railway right of way often requires railway tracks …
