    This document provides a worked example of designing a bearing stiffener at location A on a plate girder. The stiffener needs to resist a compressive force of 229.7 kN from the support reaction. It is designed as a double-sided stiffener with two plates measuring 280 x 24mm. Checks are performed to ensure it avoids torsional and local buckling. The effective section is calculated as the stiffener area plus a width on one side. With an effective area of 16920mm2 and moment of inertia of 380.28 x 104mm4, the stiffener can resist the required axial compression of 229.7 kN.

    Design qf bearing stijfener at A


    The bearing stiffener at A should be designed for the compressive force due to the support reaction equal to 229.7 k N The single (double-sided) stiffener constitutes a non-rigid end post and does not therefore need to be designed to resist any tensile anchorage ,force. Try double-sided stiffening consisting of two j u t s 280 x24mm (i.e. h, = 280mm; t, =24mm) Check outstands: For t, = 24mm, J, = 265 N/mmz

    = 0.94

    h, = 28Oll.W, = 13 x 0.94 x 24 = 294mm


    Since h , I t , l l 3 . 0 ~ torsional buckling is avoided, as is local buckling since h 3 I t , l l 4 . 0 e which is the class 3 limit for a compressed outstand. The effective stiffener section comprises the area of the stiffeners themselves, plus an effective web width equal to 15a, =15 xO.92 x15 =208mm (where E relates to the web material) either side o,f the stiffeners, where such material is available. A t location A, at the end of the plate girder, web material is available on one side of the stiffeners only. The effective stiffener section is shown below:

    Effective stiffener section at A

    It is assumed that the support reaction acts at the centroid o,f the effective stiffener section, such that there is no bending moment induced. The effective stiffener section will therefore he designed to resist an axial compression equal to the support reaction Nbd =2293 kN. It is assumed that both ends of the stiffeners are fixed laterally such that their effective length may he taken as 0.75h,. Effective stiffener properties:
    A, = (2 x 280 x 24) + (I208 + 241 x 15) = 16920mm2

    I,, = (24 x[15 + 2 x280]'/12) + (208 x15'/12) =380.28 x10'mm4
