Riassunto
Corrugated web girders (CWGs), used for bridge construction, differ in important ways from conventional prismatic girders. Behavior and Design of Trapezoidally Corrugated Web Girders for Bridge Construction details the behavior and design of CWGs in bridge construction and includes unique research into high-strength steel. The title gives a comprehensive review of the last decade in CWG design. In-depth explanations of key concepts are given — such as the accordion effect — that differentiate these girders from more conventional flat-webbed girders, and the authors also present specialized research into tubular flanged girders. The book distinguishes between prismatic and tapered CWGs, explains failure modes under both shear and flexure, and gives clear figures to illustrate these modes. The volume compares international building codes and offers recommendations for future research. Seven chapters cover –– An introduction to CWGs for bridge construction; Development of bridges with corrugated webs; Real boundary conditions between flange and web; Shear buckling behavior; Flexural buckling behavior; Recent erection methods and; Future research.

- Compares international codes — such as Eurocode 3 — in useful technical detail
Informazioni sugli autori
Mostafa Fahmi Hassanein has completed his PhD at the age of 31 years from Tanta University, Egypt. Within his PhD study, he has participated in a doctoral steel course at Lulea University of technology, Sweden. He is currently "Professor of Structural Engineering" at the Department of Structural Engineering at Tanta University. His research focuses on the analysis and design of steel and composite structures, with the aim of improving the Design Codes and Standards that are currently used worldwide (e.g. EC3, EC4, AISC and AS 4100), to design more effective structures with minimised initial material costs and life-cycle costs. He has published more than 95 papers in international/Elsevier journals. His research works show his ability to collaborate with researchers from different disciplines and countries. He has served as a reviewer for different reputed international journals and conferences. He has also invited to the 8th European Solid Mechanics Conference (ESMC), Graz, Austria, 2012 as an "Invited Speaker". He has awarded the "State's Incentive Award in the Engineering Sciences" in 2015 from the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, Egypt. Recently, he has awarded the "First Class Excellence Medal", from the Egyptian President in 2017. He is also a Consultant Engineer in the field of "Design of Steel Structures" in Egypt. He serves as an editorial board member for Thin-Walled Structures, ISSN No. 0263-8231, Elsevier. Based on his achievements, his biography has been accepted into Who's Who in the World, which is comprised of the top 3% of the professionals in the country. He also worked as a professor in the Southwest Petroleum University, Chengdu, China, between July 2019 and Jun 2020. More recently, he has named in Stanford University List for Best 2% Scientists Worldwide, 2020 and 2021.
