Tutorial No.3
Q1 Welded plate girder shown in Figure below, is a simply supported
plate girder with a span of 30 m. The compression flange is
laterally restrained against lateral torsional buckling throughout the
span. For the loading specified below, design a transversely
stiffened plate girder in S275 steel.

Actions

Permanent actions: UDL gk = 25 kN/m

Point loads Gk = 200 kN

Variable actions: UDL qk = 40 kN/m

Point loads Qk = 450 kN
Partial factor for actions

Permanent actions: G = 1.35

Variable actions: Q = 1.50

(a) Assuming the size depth of web is 2000 x 15mm and 750 x 50
mm for flanges. Check the cross-section classification.

(b) Check the bending moment resistance and shear buckling

resistance.

(c) Design of bearing stiffener, intermediate transverse stiffeners

and load-bearing stiffener.

(d) Sketch the details of the plate girder including the arrangement
of the stiffeners.
