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 …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical research on tapered steel plate girders
subjected to shear. Experimental tests included four small-scale tapered steel plate girders …

Tapered steel plate girders have been widely used in the construction of bridges and heavy
industry structures. However, predicting their structural behavior, particularly in shear, is …

Composite non-prismatic girders have been used in modern bridges worldwide.
Experimental and theoretical studies were performed to investigate prismatic steel plate …

Hot rolled beams can show insufficient strength or inertia and result in the inclusion of steel
plate girders in the design (portal frames, steel and composite bridges). More efficient …

The behavior of prismatic composite steel plate girders subjected to shear loads was
thoroughly investigated, and different theories were evaluated. However, the behavior of …

The paper is concerned with the behavior of tapered steel plate girders, primarily subjected
to shear loading; experimental as well as finite element results obtained from the studies are …

Plate girders are used when it is necessary for a structural element to support high loads,
above which a normal rolled section would either not be structurally viable or would become …

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the ultimate shear resistance of tapered
aluminium girders is described. Failure of all the test girders occurred suddenly and …

Hot rolled beams can show insufficient strength or inertia and result in the utilization of steel
plate girders in the design. For cost-effective design, tapered plate girders are employed …
