Although it is still common practice to use homogeneous steel girders (same yield strength
in the flanges and web), implementing hybrid configurations seems to be an excellent …

Compared with stainless steel, stainless-clad bimetallic steel (SCBS), which comprises a
stainless steel cladding layer and a carbon steel base layer, requires a lower project cost …

When a steel structure does not collapse after a fire, it is meaningful to study its residual
resistance after exposure to elevated temperatures to evaluate its post-fire service capacity …

The behaviour of plate girders has been extensively studied during the past few decades.
Extensive lab work, analytical methods, and numerical analyses, have been used in order …

For steel structures service in corrosive environments, corrosion reduces the mechanical
properties and effective thickness of the structural steel, which has a significant effect on the …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on local buckling behavior of extruded
6000 series alloy I-shaped aluminium alloy beams. A total of 10 specimens with a wide …

Systematic investigations on the patch loading resistance of plate girders with different
Q460, Q550, Q690, and Q960 high-strength steels (HSSs) were numerically performed with …

An experimental study considering the behavior and ultimate strength of longitudinally
unstiffened and stiffened I-steel plate girders reinforced by a single longitudinal stiffener …

Recent investigations have highlighted the need for improved provisions for determining the
resistance of stainless steel I-sections under concentrated transverse loading. Such …

In this paper, an experimental programme of six steel plate girders subjected to patch
loading as well as results of forty eight numerically-tested prototypes are presented. Results …
