The study reports the investigations into the effect produced by flexural stiffness of end stiffeners on the design buckling resistance of the sine wave webs of girders. Experimental investigations were concerned with load displacement paths in sinusoidally corrugated web girders, composed of structural items and made to the full scale . The phenomena occurring in experimental investigations were represented using the Finite Element Method. In numerical models based on FEM analysis, the same failure modes of webs that were found in experimental investigations into corrugated web girders were accounted for. FEM numerical analysis was performed for girder models with webs 500, 1000, 1250 and 1500 mm in height, made of corrugated sheet metal 2, 2.5 and 3 mm in thickness. On the basis of laboratory tests and FEM analysis, a new method for estimating design shear buckling resistance for girders with semirigid and rigid end stiffeners was proposed. The method relies on the determination of interactive buckling resistance. The solution presented in this study was compared with formulas currently used for buckling resistance estimation. It was shown that the use of girder rigid end stiffeners produces in increase in shear buckling resistance up to 11%. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made with respect to the sizing of sine wave corrugated web girders with semirigid and rigid end stiffeners.

Stiffness Criterion

This study reports investigations into the effect of relative flexural stiffness of intermediate stiffeners γ on the failure zone location in the corrugated web. The study also aimed at obtaining stiffness criterion for intermediate stiffeners that depends on the magnitude of the plate geometry parameter α. To achieve the goals of the study, experimental investigations were conducted into load displacement paths of four exemplary SIN girders. They were simply supported girders, made to full scale, and composed of pre-assembled units. The phenomena occurring in the experiment were represented using the Finite Element Method. For FEM numerical analysis of girders with intermediate stiffeners, models with the web height of 1000, 1250 and 1500 mm, made from 2; 2.5 and 3 mm thick corrugated sheet metal were used. Due to the analysis of 52 girder numerical models, it was possible to propose the stiffness criterion of intermediate stiffeners. The criterion was based on the assessment of shear buckling strength of the corrugated web. Using the regression method, dimensionless coefficients of the stiffener stiffness ks dependent on the optimum stiffness γ were determined. Based on estimated coefficients of the stiffener stiffness ks, the absolute minimum stiffness of intermediate stiffeners Ismin used in corrugated web plate girders was calculated. It was demonstrated that the use of an intermediate stiffener, the stiffness of which is greater than Ismin , additionally leads to a change in the location of the site of the web shear buckling.

Shear Buckling

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss in detail the design approach to shear buckling resistance evaluation for corrugated web being a part of a steel beam exposed to fire. Design/methodology/approach It is based on the interaction between the local and global elastic instability failure modes as well as on the possible yielding of the whole web cross-section during fire. Findings New formulae, adequate for specification of the suitable shear buckling coefficients, depend not only on the web slenderness but also on the temperature of structural steel. Originality/value The methodology proposed by the authors can be added to the current European standard recommendations given in EN 1993-1-2 as a well-justified design algorithm helpful in reliable evaluation of a safety level for steel beams with slender corrugated webs subject to fire exposure. It seems to be highly desirable because, at present, there are no detailed instructions in this field.

Corrugated Web

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations performed on beams with corrugated webs. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the geometric parameters of the sinusoidal web on the behavior of I-beams subjected to four-point bending. Special attention was paid to the effects of web thickness and wave geometry on the deflection of beams. The obtained failure modes of particular test samples are presented. Reference has also been made to the determined standard load capacities based on Annex D of the EC3 standard. In order to compare the performance of beams with corrugated webs, the results for beams with flat webs of the same thickness of web sheets are also presented.
