Abstract: Minimum‐weight plastic design of continuous composite girders with braced compact sections, as allowed in the autostress design procedure, was investigated according to American Association of State Highway and Transportation ...

Abstract: The elastic‐plastic behavior and ultimate strength of test beams with U‐shaped holes in the top part of the web are experimentally investigated. Nine welded, built‐up, simply supported beams with three different ratios of ...

Abstract: The significance for inelastic design of moment-inelastic rotation behavior with respect to interior pier sections of steel girder bridges is experimentally investigated. Under center span loading conditions, 12 welded, ...

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 ...
