An approximate method for the ultimate shear strength of horizontally curved composite plate girders

The paper is concerned with the ultimate load capacity of horizontally curved composite plate girders. An approximate method to predict the ultimate shear strength of the girders is presented. The proposed method accounts for the tension field action in web panels, composite action between steel pl...
