Moment-rotation response of nominally pinned beam-to-column joints for frames of pultruded fibre reinforced polymer
Abstract This paper presents the test results to characterise the moment-rotation response of nominally pinned joints in frames of pultruded shapes. Mimicking conventional steel construction the major-axis beam-to-column joints are formed using...

Structural analysis of a composite continuous girder with a single rectangular web opening
Abstract In the design of most bridge girders with composite girders composed of steel–concrete composite plate girders, an opening in the steel girder is often used to provide passage for utility ducts and pipes. This results in significant savings ...
