Taylor & Francis, Jeom Kee Paik and the Editorial Board of Ships and Offshore Structures are delighted to announce that the following paper has been awarded the 2013 Best Paper Award: Experimental assessment of corroded steel box girders subjected to uniform bending

摘要

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 box girder 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.
