Week 5 Challenge

Objective of this challenge is to understand the concept of designing of plate girders,how to determine the web thickness.
Understand the concept of the stiffener required for a given load.Know the different types of stiffeners,location of stiffeners in plate girder.
How to calculate the depth required for a given load for a plate girder.

1. Shear resistance of web problem:


2.Check whether intermediate stiffener required for a given load :

3.Check whether intermediate stiffener required for given load:




4.Proportioning problem:



Result : Thus we have understood the concept of desiginig of plate girder.How to check the thickness of web and depth which will be sufficient for a given factored load to resist the shear force and moment,buckling. Understood the concept when stiffeners are required.
