چکیده
Abstract: Based on the characteristics of box girder with corrugated steel webs, the existing prestressing force, the effect of shear deformation of composite girder on the deflection, “folding effect” in longitudinal direction of corrugate steel webs and the arrangement of external tendons were considered comprehensively. With the experiment results of five literatures integrated, N/fcA (the axial compression ratio) was selected as regression parameter to develop a regression equation for the effective cross-section stiffness of the girder. Then a formula for natural frequency of the externally prestressed box girder with corrugated steel webs was proposed. Finally, the in-situ measurement on an actual bridge and a laboratory dynamic test on the model box girder with seven prestressing levels were conducted. The test results showed that the natural frequency of box girders with corrugated steel webs increased along with the growing external force. In contrast to other related formulas, the calculated results of the formula proposed in this paper showed the same tendency with measured results and the maximum error is 1%.

In this study, fire resistance tests were performed on a conventional slim floor beam and a prestressed composite beam with corrugated webs, which is suitable for a long-span structure with a reduction in story height by utilizing the prestress and accordion effect. In the fire test program, the ISO 834 standard fire curve was adopted. Key test variables were the effect of prestress, shape of c...

This presentation describes the concepts involved in design and construction of a reinforcement-free bridge deck intended to provide cost effective, durable and more rapid construction for highway bridges. The new wide flanged or bulb tee precast prestressed concrete girder sections currently used in bridges allow for a shorter effective span for the bridge deck because of the wide girder flang...
متن کاملDesign aspects of steel I-girders with corrugated steel webs
Corrugated web girders represent a new structural system emerged in the past two decades. The girder’s flanges provide the flexural strength of the girder with no contribution from the corrugated web which provides the girder’s shear capacity. Failure of the web occurs by steel yielding, web buckling or interactively between them. Lateral torsion and local flange buckling of corrugated web gird...
متن کاملTorsional Analysis for Prestressed Concrete Multiple Cell Box
The Softened Truss Model Theory applied to a prestressed concrete multiple cell box is developed in this study. In this theory, the concrete torsional problem is solved by combining equilibrium conditions, compatibility conditions and constitutive laws of materials. Up to now the theory has been applied only to the case of pure torsion with single cell section. An algorithm is presented to deal...
