The steel fabricator for the third-floor tapered, built-up plate girders at the troubled Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco is calling for a girder-hanger connection design review as part of ...

Corrugated steel girders employ a folded web plate—typically sinusoidal or trapezoidal—to enhance buckling resistance under shear loading without adding transverse stiffeners. The corrugation geometry ...
