Shear Resistance of Stainless Steel I Girders with Corrugated Web

ce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1291-1296, December 2025.
Abstract This article presents the results of the laboratory test program for stainless steel I‐beams with sinusoidal corrugated web. Due to the web corrugation, the out‐of‐plane stiffness of the web increases compared to traditional flat web beams, so the thickness of the web can be reduced.

Up‐to‐Date Review on Flat‐Plate Solar Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal Systems: Absorber Designs and Fabrication Materials

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Photovoltaic (PV) technology is generally perceived as well‐developed but suffers a drop in performance at high temperatures. Faced with this problem, researchers are turning to PV thermal (PVT) systems, which integrate electricity production and thermal energy. Flat‐plate PVT systems are the most widely adopted among the various configurations.

DATA-DRIVEN ASSESSMENT OF SHEAR STRENGTH OF SINUSOIDAL CORRUGATED STEEL WEBS

Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction
The construction industry increasingly recognizes the value of steel beams with corrugated webs for their enhanced resistance to buckling, superior shear capacity, and the elimination of the need for web stiffeners. While a wealth of research focuses on beams with trapezoidal corrugated webs, investigations into sinusoidal corrugated webs (SCWs) remain
