Mechanical behavior of the shear-patch loading interaction on transversally stiffened steel plate girders

In this paper, the behavior of the intertwined shear and patch loading mechanisms in transversally stiffened steel plate girders is described. The phenomenological insight depicted in this paper shows the influence of the web thickness and the flange yield strength as well as the influence of the tr...
