Prestressed concrete (PC) girders with corrugated steel webs have recently been utilized for superstructures of highway bridges. For structural design of such girders, the shear strength characteristics (including shear buckling capacity) of the corrugated steel web must be well understood, and thus several design formulas have been provided. However, because of possible semi-rigid characteristics of the shear connecter between the conugated steel web and the concrete flanges, the shear characteristics of the connecter may affect the overall shear strength of the PC girder with corrugated steel web. Thus, this study aims to clarify the shear strength characteristics of the PC girder with corrugated steel web by considering the characteristics of the shear connecter using 3D finite element analysis.
