Experimental Fatigue Tests of Steel Plate Girders with a Sinusoidal Web

Key Points

• The main aim is to assess the fatigue performance of steel plate girders with sinusoidal webs under cyclic loading conditions.
• Conducting fatigue tests on steel plate girders
• Utilizing sinusoidal web designs
• Analyzing load-bearing capacity under different conditions
• Observations indicate varying fatigue resistance based on web design
• Sinusoidal webs potentially enhance structural integrity
• Data suggest implications for engineering practices in construction
