ARHITECTURĂ A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WEB BUCKLING RESISTANCE: STEEL PLATE GIRDERS – GIRDERS WITH CORRUGATED WEBS BY CĂTĂLIN MOGA, ALEXANDRA-DENISA DANCIU * and MIRCEA SUCIU Technical University of Cluj-Napoca Faculty of Civil Engineering Received: February 1, 2013 Accepted for publication: February 22, 2013 Abstract. In this paper we present a comparative analysis regarding the shear web resistance between five types of steel plate girders and a girder with corrugated webs. The web buckling resistance of steel plate girders is established in accordance with EN 1993-1-5: Plated Structural Elements-§5.3. In the case of girders with corrugated webs, the background for the shear resistance of the web and the beam verification is the Annex D to EN 1993-1-5: Plate Girders with Corrugated Webs. Key words: steel plate girders; girders with corrugated webs; comparative analysis; Euronorm EN 1993-1-5: Plated Structural Elements. 1. Introduction It is well known that in the case of steel plate girders the shear force is preponderantly taken over by the girder web, the contribution of the flanges * Corresponding author: e-mail: alexandra.stan@cfdp.utcluj.ro
