ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: With the finite element method, several geometrical parameters influencing the mechanical performances of multi-cell girders with corrugated steel webs under eccentric loading were analyzed. The ratio of height and span, the ratio of width and span, corrugation configuration of steel web and the thickness of steel web were analyzed. The results show that decreasing the ratio of height and span, the ratio of width and span and increasing the thickness of steel webs can improve its mechanical performances under eccentric loading. The effect of the rotation of corrugation configuration of steel web is complex. In order to choose the proper corrugation configuration of steel web, FEM analysis must be used.
