In this study, titanium-clad bimetallic steel (TCBS) was innovatively introduced into the plate
girder as a web, which enhanced the durability. The ultimate strength of a longitudinally …

The behaviour of plate girders under in plane loading has been intensively studied during
the last two decades either to bring new insights, to propose new design methods or to …

In steel plate girders (SPGs), a patch loading usually causes a local failure in the vicinity of
the loading area of the girder web. However, estimating the patch loading resistance (PLR) …

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 …

Abstract S32001 (EN 1.4482) is a newly developed duplex high-strength stainless steel
known for its enhanced yield strength and cost efficiency. This material is often used in plate …

An experimental research considering the behavior and ultimate strength of longitudinally
stiffened plate girders subjected to localized edge loading in the plane of the web, a load …

In the incremental launching method employed for steel bridge construction, the girder is
subjected to patch loading which occurs at the piers' position. This loading significantly …

In this paper, the optimum positions of multiple (two) longitudinal stiffeners for steel plates
subjected to pure bending, and combined bending and shear forces, are investigated by …

This study proposes a new formulation for patch loading longitudinally stiffened webs using
genetic programming (GP) for the first time in the literature. The database for the GP …

This paper presents a design procedure for the determination of the ultimate resistance of
longitudinally stiffened girder webs to concentrated loads. The influence from the …
