Plate Girder


Plate Girder
Plate girders are typically used as long-span
g yp y g p
floor girders in buildings, as bridge girders, and
as crane girders in industrial structures.
g
Commonly term girder refers to a flexural x-
section made up of a number of elements

They are generally considerably deeper than the

deepest rolled sections and usually have webs
thinner than rolled sections.


Plate Girder
Modern plate girders are normally fabricated
by welding together two flanges and a web
p
plate.

Plate girders are at their most impressive in
modern b id construction where main spans of

Plate Girder


Plate Girder
Any cross-section of a plate girder is normally
subjected to a combination of shear force and
bending moment.
The primary function of the top and bottom
flange plates of the girder is to resist the axial
compressive and tensile forces arising from
the applied bending moment.
moment
The primary function of the web plate is to
resist the applied shear force.


Plate Girder
Plate girders are normally designed to support
heavy loads over long spans in situations where it
is necessary to produce an efficient design by
providing girders of high strength to weight ratio.
To produce the lowest axial flange force for a
given bending moment, the web depth (d) must be
made as large as possible. To reduce the self
weight, the web thickness (tw) must be reduced to
a minimum
minimum.
As a consequence, in many instances the web
plate is of slender proportions and i th f
l t i f l d ti d is therefore
prone to buckling at relatively low values of
applied shear
shear.

Plate Girder
For efficient design it is usual to choose a
relatively deep girder, thus minimizing the
required area of flanges for a given applied
moment, Msd.
t
This obviously entails a deep web whose
y p
area will be minimized by reducing its
thickness to the minimum required to carry
the applied shear, Vsd.
h li d h
Such a web may be quite slender (
y q (i.e. a high
g
d/tw ratio) and may be prone to local buckling
and shear buckling.


Plate Girder
Web buckling does not determine the
ultimate strength of a plate girder.
lti t t th f l t id
Plate elements do not collapse when they
p y
buckle; they can possess a substantial post-
buckling reserve of resistance.
For an efficient design, any calculation
relating to the ultimate limit state should take
g
the post-buckling action into account.

Web Stiffeners

They usually consists of rectangular
bars to welded to web.
Transverse stiffeners may be in pairs,
one on each side of web, or they may
placed on one side of web.
Longitudinal stiffeners are usually
placed on one side of web.

Web Stiffeners
Efficiency of stiffener is a function of its location

Transverse Stiffeners
Transverse stiffeners play an important role in
allowing the full ultimate load resistance of a
plate girder to be achieved.
In the first place they increase the buckling
resistance of the web;
Secondly they must continue to remain effective
after the web buckles, to provide anchorage for

finally they must prevent any tendency for the
flanges to move towards one another.


The satisfactory performance of a
transverse stiffener can best be illustrated
by comparing the girders shown, after
