Abstract


In this paper, an in-depth analysis of the structural response of hybrid steel plate girders subjected to shear forces is presented. The analysis is focused on the Venezuelan Code for Steel Structures COVENIN 1618:1998. The study is based upon a review of experimental tests as well as upon a numerical study carried out by the authors. Both experimental and numerical results are compared with the results provided by the aforementioned Code. Likewise, other relevant Codes such as EN1993-1-5 and AISC-AASHTO are employed for the sake of comparison. The results obtained show that the values given by COVENIN 1618:1998 concerning the shear resistance of hybrid steel plate girders are particularly conservative. A design proposal that may enhance the current COVENIN formulation in this particular topic is presented accordingly.
