Strengthening-By-Stiffening (SBS) is a new concept developed to enhance the strength and performance of shear-deficient thin-walled steel girders. In SBS, pultruded composite sections are bonded to buckling prone web panels to serve as stiffeners.

Standard design techniques for corrugated steel culverts take advantage of the flexibility and ductility of the steel liners to transfer soil loads mainly through axial compression, with very small bending moments, relative to the size of the…
