The effectiveness of CFRP strengthening of steel plate girders with web opening subjected to shear

Strengthening of Scaled Steel-Concrete Composite Girders and Steel Monopole Towers with CFRP

Cost-effective rehabilitation and/or strengthening of steel structures currently demanded by the telecommunications industry and transportation departments. Rehabilitation is often required due to crosssection losses resulting from corrosion damage and strengthening may be required due to changes in the use of a structure. Current strengthening techniques, have several disadvantages including t...

repair effectiveness of cfrp and steel plates in rc beams with web opening: effect of plate thickness

the effect of steel plate thickness on the repair effectiveness of rc beam is presented in this paper. a total of four beams were tested, one beam repaired by cfrp with a thickness of 1.2 mm and used as a control beam, and three beams repaired by a steel plate. steel plates with a thickness of 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm were used in repairing the beams. the maximum load-carrying capacity, deflection ...

A Proposed Method to Evaluate Ultimate Resistance of Plate Girders Subjected to Shear and Patch Loading (RESEARCH NOTE)

Experimental investigation of the ultimate resistance of slender, steel-plate girder web panels to combined shear-and-patch loading indicates significant interaction between shear loading and patch loading. However, an existing interaction formula is based on experimental results. Herein, an improved design procedure for slender plate girders subjected to combined shear and patch loading is pro...

Shear Strengthening Using Cfrp Sheets for Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders in Manitoba, Canada

Comparison of plasticity and stiffness of steel shear walls with composite steel plate shear wall

The steel shear wall and composite steel plate shear wall is introduced in recent three decade and is considered and is spread rapidly. Composite steel plate shear wall which is made of a layer of thin steel sheet with coating of reinforced concrete in one or both sides of steel palate is considered a third generation of resistance shear walls against lateral loads that in addition to increasin...
