Review of Research on Corrugated Web Steel Beams

Abstract

Wave-shaped web plate steel replaces the traditional flat web plate in order to achieve greater planar stiffness and higher shear buckling capacity with a thinner web plate thickness. Additionally, the local compressive load-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance are also improved, resulting in higher load-carrying capacity and economic advantages for this type of steel. This translation summarizes the research conducted by domestic and international scholars on wave-shaped web plate steel, focusing on its stability performance, shear buckling, fatigue resistance, and stress concentration. Finally, it concludes by discussing the factors influencing these four performance aspects and proposes improvement methods.
