Abstract

For structural models, existing research frequently uses deterministic numerical analysis. Test findings, however, constantly point out uncertainties, especially about variables like the imposed load's amplitude, geometrical dimensions, material unpredictability, and inadequate experiential data. In response, scholars have focused more on probabilistic design models, realizing their importance for precisely forecasting structural performance. This research aims to incorporate reliability-based analysis into the numerical modeling of steel beams with sinusoidal webs. A steel welded plate beam with an I-section and a sinusoidal web has been taken into consideration in this study. The web height is 750 mm, the web thickness is 2.0 mm, the flange width is 300 mm, and the flange thickness is 5.0 mm. The beam's length, l = 1000 mm, has two 10.0 mm thick stiffeners positioned beneath the applied load to stop the flange from failing locally as a result of load concentration and end plate supports that are 5 mm thick. The commercial software application ANSYS ver. 2019 R3 has been used to perform a nonlinear finite element analysis in order to examine the failure modes and load capacities. In the first stage of this study, the changing of the amplitude/period ratio, A/P, was taken into consideration to examine the failure capacity loads and deformed shapes to optimize the amplitude/period ratio. In the second stage, the optimum amplitude/period ratio, A/P, was taken, and changing the period/span ratios, P/L, made the best use of the period/span ratios by examining the failure capacity loads and deformed forms. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-03-08 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

To facilitate accelerated bridge construction and reduce the cost of bridge design and construction, a cold-formed steel composite bridge girder has been suggested recently as an economical alternative. The new technology for the composite bridge girder includes a cold-formed steel plate and either a precast or cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) slab. Previous research on cold-formed steel concrete composite girders has introduced two new shapes for short-span bridge girders: a cold-formed steel tub girder and a folded plate girder system. No study has been conducted on the impact of shape on the static structural behavior of cold-formed composite girders for short-span bridges. This paper investigated the behavior of the cold-formed steel composite girders with different shapes in terms of ductility, stiffness, the ultimate failure load, crack resistance, and interfacial slip. Four shapes were carried out in this research: tub, open-box, and double C with and without lips. Six simply supported girder specimens were designed, fabricated, and subjected to static load tests. The results showed that the cold-formed steel double C lipped girder increased the ultimate load by 12.12% compared to the cold-formed steel tub girder. Additionally, the initial stiffness of the cold-formed steel double C girder increased by 21% compared to the cold-formed steel tub girder. The open-box shape specimen can effectively improve the cracking resistance of cold-formed steel composite girders compared to the cold-formed steel tub girders.
