Evaluation of Web Buckling Test Results on Welded Beams and Plate Girders Subjected to Shear

The limit state design requirements for welded beams and plate girders in shear, and combined bending and shear, are analysed and criteria for two codes (AISC and Eurocode 3) are compared. As the differences in the design requirements are substantial, a comparison of the achieved reliability indices is made in order to find which model is closer to the target reliability level. The statistical parameters of the experimental results are evaluated and the first order-second moment method is used for the calibration. The results vary for these two models and it is necessary to achieve target values of reliability by correcting the models by the resistance factors.
