Abstract
The objective of the present paper is to propose a simple method for bending analysis of composite girders with corrugated steel webs.
In this analysis, it is assumed that a composite girder with I-section consists of three parallel beams bonded together; each beam is divided into thin laminas; displacements and stresses within each lamina are linearly changed. Nonlinear analysis is performed by using the initial stress method. Results of the present analysis were compared with experimental results.
