The American Institute of Steel Construction task group, charged with considering model code changes in view of 2018 brittle fractures in twin built-up steel plate girders of vehicle bridges in San ...

One promising technique for the seismic design of highway bridges with steel superstructures is to dissipate energy through the inelastic deformation of the end cross frames. These so-called ductile ...

The steel fabricator for the third-floor tapered, built-up plate girders at the troubled Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco is calling for a girder-hanger connection design review as part of ...

Corrugated steel girders employ a folded web plate—typically sinusoidal or trapezoidal—to enhance buckling resistance under shear loading without adding transverse stiffeners. The corrugation geometry ...

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission's independent expert panel that reviewed the 2018 brittle fractures in twin built-up plate girders at San Francisco's Salesforce Transit Center—and made ...
