Saad-Eldeen, S., Garbatov, Y. and Guedes Soares, C. (2013), “Experimental assessment of corroded steel box-girders subjected to uniform bending”, Ships and Offshore Structures, Volume 8, pp. 653-662

This paper analyses the failure modes obtained in experiments of multispan corroded box-girders, representing midship hull sections subjected to a uniform bending moment. A comparison of the behaviour of three tested corroded boxgirder specimens is performed with respect to collapse modes, strain measurements, residual stresses, load-displacement relationship, moment-curvature relationship and the effect of different corrosion levels on structural integrity.
