Abstract: Beams with corrugated webs were tested to failure under partial compressive edge loading. The failure was due to a flange collapse mechanism and web crippling or web yielding, followed by crippling and vertical bending of ...

Abstract: Thin plate panels in steel-plate shear walls buckle at very small load and the strength of the wall is based on the postbuckling strength of its plate panels. The plate panels can be modeled using equivalent truss elements ...

Abstract: Webs of rolled and built‐up beams can be subjected to in‐plane compressive edge loads. Since stiffeners are not always provided under the load, it is necessary to check the unstiffened web under this loading condition. The ...

Abstract: Beams with corrugated webs were tested to failure under uniform bending. The failure was sudden and due to vertical buckling of the compression flange into the web after the stress in the flange reached the yield stress. ...

Abstract: The results of an investigation into the seismic behavior of unstiffened thin steel‐plate shear walls is presented. Little work has been done in the past to investigate the behavior of unstiffened thin steel‐plate shear ...

Abstract: Beams with corrugated webs were tested to failure under shear; the failure was due to buckling of the web. The test specimens were modeled using finite elements and the computer program

Abstract: Masonry infill panels in framed structures have been long known to affect strength, stiffness, and ductility of the composite structure. In seismic areas, ignoring the composite action is not always on the safe side, since ...

Abstract: This paper presents finite-element and fracture mechanics studies of plate girders with corrugated webs. The failure mode of this type of girder under fatigue loading is distinguished by its location in the tension flange ...
