Abstract: A Finite Element model is developed for the stability analysis of Timoshenko beam subjected to periodic axial loads. The effect of the shear deformation on the static buckling loads is studied ...

Abstract: Results from many shear strength tests conducted on steel I-girder specimens with corrugated webs are available in the literature wherein both local and global shear buckling modes have been observed. A systematic analysis ...

Abstract: This paper presents theoretical, experimental, and finite-element analysis results for the linear elastic behavior of corrugated web steel I-girders under in-plane loads. A typical corrugated web steel I-girder consists ...

Abstract: A theoretical formulation of the linear elastic in-plane and torsional behavior of corrugated web I-girders under in-plane loads is presented. A typical corrugated web steel I-girder consists of two steel flanges welded ...

Abstract: The use of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for upgrading the out-of-plane flexural resistance of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls is experimentally and analytically investigated in this study. ...

Abstract: Fatigue design criteria are necessary to design steel corrugated web girders for highway bridges. The paper presents research on the fatigue life of steel bridge I-girders with trapezoidal web corrugations. Eight large-scale ...

Abstract: Interface crack propagation of FRP (fiber-reinforced polymer) strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) flexural member is often initiated from the toes of the intermediate cracks and propagates towards the supports. This type ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) based strengthening on the monotonic compression response of reinforced concrete (RC) short columns has been studied extensively. Effectiveness of FRP strengthening in ...
