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 …

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 …

Plate girders are important load-bearing components of bridge and industrial structures.
Corrosion significantly affects durability and service life of plate girders. Bimetallic steel …

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 …

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 …

The patch-loading resistance behaviors of Q690 high-strength steel (HSS) plate girders at
elevated temperatures were investigated through a parametric study. The finite element (FE) …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) members generally have slender cross-sections making them more
prone to geometric imperfections. The presence of different geometric imperfections with …

Bridge girders are subjected to repeated patch loading during incremental launching (ie
travelling over supports). Plastic deformations are likely to occur in the girder already at the …

The present paper aims to numerically investigate the influence of patch load length related
to various geometric parameters on the patch loading resistance of steel plate girders …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) sections are thin-walled, therefore, more susceptible to different
types of geometric imperfections. Global type of geometric imperfections has a significant …
