BuildingsIn order to surmount the characteristics of high steel consumption and cost in prefabricated buildings, as a novel structural component, reinforced concrete vierendeel sandwich plates (RC-VSP) could be effectively employed. However, RC-VSP is restricted by complex construction procedures and rigorous quality control demands.

The Effect of Hole Width on Full Height Rectangular Opening Castellated Steel Beam with Diagonal Stiffener Concerning Its Flexural Capacity [PDF]
, 2019 The use of a diagonal stiffener in a full height rectangular opening castellated steel beam can prevent the failure mechanism of vierendeel. This results in the flexural capacity of the castellated beam higher than the original IWF profile.
