PLATE GIRDER 1. INTRODUCTION Welded plate girders, which are the most common form of plate girders, are built-up structural steel members that consists of flange plates welded to a web plate with fillet welds. They are used to support loads over long spans (60 ft. to 200 ft.) and to support structural loads that are too large to be supported by the rolled steel shapes shown in the AISCM. Plate girders are rarely used in building structures, but are commonly used in bridge structures. They are used as transfer girders in building structures to support columns above large column-free areas. Plate girders may also be used in the retrofitting of existing building structures where column-free areas are needed and existing columns have to be cut off or removed below a certain floor level. Plate girders are also used as crane support girders in heavy industrial structures with long spans. All the standard hot-rolled shapes in the Manual, the webs are compact. Some have noncompact flanges, but none have slender flanges. With shapes built up from plates, however, both flanges and webs can be compact, noncompact, or slender. These built-up shapes usually are used when the bending moments are larger than standard hot-rolled shapes can resist, usually because of a large span. These girders are invariably very deep, resulting in noncompact or slender webs. A plate girder cross section can take several forms. The usual configuration is a single web with two equal flanges, with all parts connected by welding. The box section, which has two webs as well as two flanges, is a torsionally superior shape and can be used when large unbraced lengths are necessary. Hybrid girders, in which the steel in the flanges is of a higher strength than that in the web or webs, are sometimes used.

The term “plate girder” no longer exists in the most recent AISC specification. Instead, this term has been replaced by the term “built-up sections,” and the design requirements for flexure and shear for these sections are found in Sections F5 and G of the AISC specification, respectively. Stiffened plate girders may or may not be designed for tension-field action to resist the shear. A stiffened plate girder with tension-field action acts like a Pratt truss, with the web plate resisting diagonal tension; the vertical stiffeners are in compression and also add stability to the web plate. Tension-field action is this truss-like behavior, and designing for it is an economical way to increase the strength of the girder because the stability added by the stiffeners allows the web plate to be thinner and lighter than would otherwise be necessary. When tension-field action is used, however, the stiffeners must then be designed to have a larger moment of inertia.

Tension-field action is not permitted in the design of end panels. When designing or analyzing rolled sections, the overall depth of the member (measured between the outside faces of the flanges) is used to resist the shear force. For plate girders, only the girder web (measured between the inside faces of the flanges) is used to resist shear.

2. STIFFENED AND UNSTIFFENED PLATE GIRDER At a location of high shear in a girder web, usually near the support and at or near the neutral axis, the principal planes will be inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the member, and the principal stresses will be diagonal tension and diagonal compression. The diagonal tension poses no particular problem, but the diagonal compression can cause the web to buckle. This problem can be addressed in one of three ways: (1) The depth-to-thickness ratio of the web can be made small enough that the problem is eliminated, (2) web stiffeners can be used to form panels with increased shear strength, or (3) web stiffeners can be used to form panels that resist the diagonal compression through tension-field action. Plate girders may be stiffened (with transverse stiffeners) or unstiffened. If an unstiffened web is incapable of resisting the applied shear, appropriately spaced stiffeners are used to develop tension-field action. Cross-sectional requirements for these stiffeners, called intermediate stiffeners, are minimal because their primary purpose is to provide stiffness rather than resist directly applied loads.

additional stiffeners may be required at points of concentrated loads for the purpose of protecting the web from the direct compressive load. These members are called bearing stiffeners, and they must be proportioned to resist the applied loads. They can also simultaneously serve as intermediate stiffeners.

3.AISC REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPORTIONS OF PLATE GIRDERS 3.1- Web Proportions Whether a girder web is noncompact or slender depends on h/tw , the width-to-thickness ratio of the web, where h is the depth of the web from inside face of flange to inside face of flange and tw is the web thickness.

hc= twice the distance from the elastic neutral axis (the centroidal axis) to the inside face of the compression flange. (hc/2 defines the part of the web that is in compression for elastic bending. hc = h for girders with equal flanges).

hp= twice the distance from the plastic neutral axis to the inside face of the compression flange. (hp/2 defines the part of the web in compression for the plastic moment. hp= h for girders with equal flanges). Mp= plastic moment = Fy Zx My= yield moment = Fy Sx

To prevent web buckling (to prevent vertical buckling of the compression flange into the web), web stiffeners can be added for stability. AISC F13.2 imposes an upper limit on the web slenderness. The limiting value of h/tw is a function of the aspect ratio, a/h, of the girder panels, which is the ratio of intermediate stiffener spacing to web depth.

4. FLEXURAL STRENGTH When a plate girder section has a noncompact or slender web, the nominal moment capacity, Mn , will be less than the plastic moment capacity, M p , of the section because of several limit states that are attained before the section can reach its full plastic moment capacity. There are four possible limit states that may occur in built-up sections in bending and Mn ,will be the smallest strength obtained for the following four limit states.: • Tension flange yielding. • Compression flange yielding, • Compression flange local buckling, and • Lateral torsional buckling, For all states   0.9

4.1. Tension Flange Yielding , TFY For S xt  S xc , the design moment capacity is given as  M n   Fy S xt

This limit state does not apply to built-up sections when the section modulus of the built-up section with respect to the tension face, Sxt , is greater than or equal to the section modulus with respect to the compression face, Sxc (i.e., when Sxt  Sxc ).

5.SHEAR STRENGTH Due to the relatively thin webs used in plate girders, the design for shear is more complicated than for rolled sections. In fact, there are two approaches available for designing for shear in plate girders. One method accounts only for the buckling strength of the web, while the second method accounts for the post-buckling strength of the web panels between stiffeners as a result of diagonal tension field action. Therefore, unless diagonal tension field action is to be relied on, it is recommended that sufficient web thickness be used to avoid the need for stiffeners. The shear strength of a plate girder is a function of the depth-to-thickness ratio of the web and the spacing of any intermediate stiffeners that may be present. The shear capacity has two components: the strength before buckling and the post-buckling strength. The post-buckling strength relies on tension-field action, which is made possible by the presence of intermediate stiffeners. If stiffeners are not present or are spaced too far apart, tension-field action will not be possible, and the shear capacity will consist only of the strength before buckling.

Whether a plate girder will be unstiffened or stiffened must be decided in the early design stages. Using stiffeners reduces the total steel weight but increases fabrication costs. If the web height-to-thickness ratio h/tw > 260, transverse stiffeners are required.

7.DESIGN OF BEARING STIFFENERS Bearing stiffeners are required when the web has insufficient strength for any of the limit states of web yielding, web crippling, or sidesway web buckling. Although the web can be proportioned to directly resist any applied concentrated loads, bearing stiffeners are usually provided. If stiffeners are used to resist the full concentrated load, the limit states of web yielding, web crippling, and sidesway web buckling do not need to be checked. The nominal bearing strength of a stiffener is given in AISC J7 as R n   1.8 Fy A pb ,   0.75

AISC J10.8 requires that full-depth stiffeners be used in pairs and analyzed as axially loaded columns subject to the following guidelines:

1- The cross section of the axially loaded member consists of the stiffener plates and a length of the web. This length can be no greater than 12 times the web thickness for an end stiffener or 25 times the web thickness for an interior stiffener. 2- The effective length should be taken as 0.75 times the actual length—that is, KL = 0.75h.
