Abstract: Negative shear lag is not a particularly exceptional phenomenon but an effect that can occur at a wide variety of arrangements of plated structures with a considerable degree of significance. A description of features of ...

Abstract: A method employing harmonic analysis is presented that enables the quick and convenient evaluation of stress distribution in columns and connecting beams of wide high‐rise buildings subjected to lateral loads. The method ...

Abstract: The effect of shear lag on creep deformations and stress redistributions in concrete box girder bridges is analyzed both deterministically and stochastically. It is found that the shear lag is as important for creep as it ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the effect of drying as a moisture diffusion process in a segment of a typical box‐girder bridge. Pore relative humidity distributions throughout the cross sections of the plates of the girder are ...
