Abstract: After years in service, many steel girders have deteriorated to the point where fatigue cracks have initiated in the girders. In girders having cover plates that do not terminate in a compression region, a common type of ...

Abstract: The moment–inelastic rotation behavior of hybrid steel girder bridges is experimentally investigated. Six welded girders having compact flanges and webs are statically loaded under three-point bending condition in order ...
