Design of Steel Plated Structures with Finite Elements

Due to the relatively large slenderness of plated structures, the proof of adequate buckling resistance is crucial for dimensioning. Plate buckling is a stability problem of a compression-loaded plate and is generally characterized by failure of the structure prior to achieving plastic component resistance. The stability verification of welded plated structures assisted by finite element …

Rules for curved steel panels: Design guidelines, examples and background documentation

The recently completed European research program OUTBURST – Optimal and aesthetic design of curved steel bridges (RFCS Nº 709782), where the authors of this report were involved, significantly supported the development of new design rules for curved steel plates. In the frame of this research, several individual curved panels and two bridge prototypes were tested. …

Shear Connections in Composite Flexural Members of Steel and Concrete

A detailed classification of shear connections in this document is based on their shear-slip properties, which allows for consideration of hardening, plastic and softening connection types. A theory developed for slip deformations is applicable for both full and partial shear connections. The connection stiffness parameters make it possible to estimate the maximum slips in both …

From Assessment to Best Practice – A collection of fatigue damage cases in steel and composite bridges

The majority of fatigue damage cases that have been reported for steel and composite bridges were generated by “secondary” effects that were unforeseen or overlooked in the design of these structures. These effects are often the result of improper detailing and inadequate idealization of the behaviour of steel bridge details. This volume presents a catalogue …
