ABSTRACT: A simplified model for calculating the shear load-displacement relationship of steel plate girders
with slender webs at high temperatures is proposed based on numerical results by FEM. This model uses the
buckling degradation function which depends on the buckling parameter, and the post-buckling shear strength
is given either ...
