Closed-form approach for the elastic critical moment of I-girders with corrugated web
Thin-Walled StructuresUsing corrugated web girders offers several advantages, including increased resistance to lateral-torsional buckling. Researchers have proposed various methods for determining the critical moment value as a function of the cross-sectional geometry. Previous studies have suggested that the enhanced critical moment is attributable to a larger warping ...
