Using hollow tubular flange girders instead of conventional I-girders enhancing all section properties especially increasing torsional stiffness, for girders used in horizontal curves remarkable torsional shear stress take place on these girders, which lead to study such girders, using corrugated webs in such girder system increase shear and torsional resistance. Four beams were manufactured in Asyut university-faculty of engineering workshop, one straight beam with hollow tubular flange and plane web used as control beam and three cold formed curved in plan hollow tubular flange beams with plane web, trapezoidal corrugated web and triangular corrugated web, all beams were loaded gradually till failure, all data were recorded through automatic data acquisition system connected to the computer, after analyzing all recorded data including testing procedure, mode of failure and load deflection curves using curved in plan hollow tubular flange girders with corrugated webs is a viable option and requires more study in order to improve such system.

Keywords- Corrugated web, curved beam, experimental work, steel beam, tubular flange.
