Corrugated web beams made of cold-formed steel components represent an economical solution for structures, offering high flexural capacity and deformation rigidity. For conventional corrugated beams, thick plates the flanges thin sinusoidal sheets web, elements can be joined by standard bolted end-plate connections. In case thin-walled only, additional are required to accommodate shape position...

thin-walled hollow steel columns, either circular or box shaped, are commonly used as piers in bridges. recent earthquakes, e.g. hyogoken-nanbu or kobe 1995, on the other hand have shown that these columns are vulnerable to damage when subjected to earthquake loading. this paper presents a new innovative thin-walled hollow steel column fabricated of corrugated plates, “thin-walled steel columns...

This work is focused on the finite element study of the energy absorbing behavior of aluminum (corrugated webs). The aim is to study the mechanism of energy absorption in specific metallic structures by understanding these mechanisms. The sine wave web (or corrugated web) structural component constructed of aluminum has been chosen as the specific structural element for this study. The sine wav...

Corrugated Soil-Steel bridges have been used as drainage structures and underpasses in the ongoing Southern Highway project. Because the Soil-Steel bridges are novel to Sri Lankan context and the catastrophic bridge failure at Poddala, 2009 led to a controversy about the suitability and the stability of SoilSteel bridges. The structure safety against crushing failure of the corrugated steel arc...
