Abstract: Approximate formulas for assessing the strengths of plates having various edge support conditions and subjected to uniaxial loading have been presented; the edges may be free to pull in or constrained to remain straight. ...

Abstract: The ultimate shear capacity of a plate girder having a central rectangular web‐hole is shown to be the sum of three contributing factors: (1) The elastic critical load of the web; (2) the load carried by the membrane tension ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation carried out to assess the effect of incorporating steel fibers on the torsional behavior of conventionally reinforced beams is reported. The study involved testing 24 beams, with partial or ...
