Experimental research of beams with corrugated web

Abstract

The paper presents an experimental methodology, measuring instruments, equipment and results of an experimental study of beams with corrugated sinusoidal-shaped web. It also investigates the influence of parameters on the beams load bearing capacity. The researchers obtained data on critical loads and types of the extreme limit state at action of concentrated forces with various width of a load transmission section. They also assessed load bearing capacity of beams with different length and section height when work according to single-span jointed scheme.
