Abstract: Predicting the shear strength of composite girders is critical in improving the efficiency of bridge engineering. To investigate the shear behavior of slender continuous steel–concrete composite girders commonly employed ...

Abstract: There is a lack of reliable research regarding the current engineering specifications considering the broad applications of high-strength steel (HSS) in civil engineering. Axial compression tests were performed on 12 HSS ...

Abstract: Considering the advantages of hybrid steel I-section beams in reducing engineering costs and fully utilizing the mechanical properties of steel, and the lack of research on their ductility, hybrid steel I-section beams ...

Abstract: The fatigue of orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSBDs) is a bottleneck for its application, especially the fatigue of rib-to-floor beam (RF) junction. Thus, it is necessary to optimize the RF junction to improve its fatigue ...
