Comparison and Analysis of Vierendeel Beams under Shear and Bending in RCC, Composite and Steel – A Review

Abstract

Vierendeel beams are used for longer spans, it is found in the year of early 19th century and it is founded by a Belgian Engineer, Jules Arthur Vierendeel. This project covers the long span beam of RC, Steel and Composite. All the material components are compared with each other and the model & analysis will be done by using STAAD PRO software. Comparison of the material properties are RC, steel and composite in bending moment, shear force, deflection, durability and cost effectiveness. Pure steel and concrete can be replaced by worldwide acceptance of steel-concrete composite construction. Long span bridge is constructed for many purposes like canal, river, railway track, etc. to cross over the obstacles. The paper presents the results of the experimental modal analysis of a composite arch bridge, about 50 m long, crossing the railway track close to the village of Irugur in Coimbatore city and the experimental modal and analysis of a steel bridge, crossing the railway bridge in Mullaipadi village in Coimbatore city. The mechanism in the tied arch bridge is horizontal beam and arch beam are connected by hangers are vertical support. Hanger system will permit the stress at higher level. The research of improving the three properties in the arch beam, with arch is in elliptical shape. After the bridge is analysed, the technique to reduce the bending moment and shear force at the arch ends.
