In this paper, the shear strength of corrugated web girders made EN 1.4162/LDX 2101 stainless steel is investigated. Four full-scale trapezoidal were tested under shear. Before conducting tests, DIC was used to measure real geometric imperfections in panels. Complementary finite element analysis studies conducted assess sensitivity initial imperfections. The experimental results indicated that ...

The influence of dyeing and spinning on the characteristics of cotton fibers and its impact on the properties of cotton mélange yarn has been investigated. Grey cotton fibers with mean fiber length and fineness of 29 mm and 4.2 micronair were pre-treated and dyed. Three ring yarns were spun from 100 % grey cotton (R.R.Y), 50-50 % blend of dyed and grey cotton (M.R.Y) and 100 % dyed cotton fiber...
