In this article, the shear performance of GFRP perforated plate connectors is studied by simulated push-out experiments. Firstly, the modeling method, the intrinsic model, the parameter design, and ...

Tapered plate girders are broadly used in structural engineering design as a great tool to provide improvement in stress distribution and efficiency in usage of material. Where the depth of such ...
