CORRUGATED WEBS IN PLATE GIRDERS FOR BRIDGES

The advantages and economic use of vertifically corrugated steel webs in plate and box girders for steel or composite bridges are considered. Research on global and local buckling is reviewed and a design method is given, based partly on work on four recent bridges in France. Elastic stiffness in shear and ultimate strength are studied, based on finite-element analyses and laboratory tests. The tests are reported in a companion paper on flexural behaviour of plate girders with corrugated webs. (A)
