PRACTICAL FORMULAS FOR THE CURVED BRIDGE WITH MULTIPLE PLATE GIRDERS

Design Requirements for Plate Girders with Bolted Transverse Stiffeners

The web of plate girders in bridges are usually reinforced by welded transverse stiffeners in order to improve their shear capacity.Due to problems associated with field welding and fatigue, welded stiffeners are not suitable for retrofitting existing bridges. Bolted stiffeners are a practical alternative for strengthening girders that are expected to experience shear stress in excess of their ...

Response of Fire Exposed Steel Bridge Girders

Model Studies on Plate Girders

Tests on eighteen small scale models which simulate the elastic and post-buckling behaviour of plate girders when subjected to shear loading are reported and discussed. Themodels were fabricated of steel and Araldite; the major aim was to assess whether small scale models can be employed to study shear buckling problems. A secondary object was to examine whether araldite could be used for predi...
