Abstract

In this study, a new analytical method is presented to estimate the shear capacity of diagonally stiffened steel–concrete composite plate girders. This method is formulated based on tension field action in steel girder web and failure mechanism of concrete slab deck. To validate the accuracy of the proposed method, the obtained results are compared with three-dimensional finite element analysis of composite plate girders with different configuration of stiffeners. The results of analytical and numerical investigations indicate that the proposed method can accurately estimate the ultimate shear capacity of composite plate girders. In addition, it is shown that the diagonal stiffeners on one hand can reduce the buckling effects of shear panel of girders and on the other hand can increase the strength of elastic shear buckling and ultimate shear capacity of girders well in comparison with the unstiffened thin steel plate girders.
