Abstract: A numerical study of aluminum and steel beams subjected to concentrated loading is performed and compared with experimental data from the literature. The modeled test specimen referred to simply supported beams where the ...

Abstract: This work was initiated to study the influence of geometry and material variations on the structural response of an aluminum I-beam subjected to concentrated loading. The beam behavior was computed with a previously validated ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation into the behavior of I beams and deck profiles under concentrated loading in the beam’s transverse direction. The primary objective of the investigation was to provide ...

Abstract: The response of aluminum beams subjected to concentrated loading is investigated experimentally through a series of 52 tests. Three different aluminum alloy AA6082-T6 extrusions are included in the test program: one double ...
