Abstract
Automated fabrication process of steel plate girders using
robotics welding requires modified structural details such as
stiffener-end gaps. To investigate the effects of these gaps on
the behaviour of girders, a parametric study using finite
element analyses has been designed based on laboratory
experiments. The finite element model is verified by
experimental data and the nonlinear solution technique is
optimised. The behaviour of this type of girders is classified
based on the nonlinear load-deflection curves of girders and
the observed interaction of local and global phenomena. In
this paper the details of the developed finite element model
and some of the results are presented.
