Economical Steel Plate Girder Bridges
Engineering Journal, 1984As a service to the bridge design profession, Bethlehem Steel has conducted hundreds of studies of steel plate girder bridges using its Preliminary Bridge Girder Optimization Program. The program is unique because it optimizes plate girder designs on the basis of least cost, not least weight.

Welded Constructional Alloy Steel Plate Girders
Journal of the Structural Division, 1964The results of four static tests on two welded constructional alloy steel plate girders are summarized and examined. The test girders were proportioned so that shear failure would be obtained. A shear strength theory based on the development of tension field action is reviewed, and its applicability to girders made of steel with a high yield point is ...

Shear strength of tapered steel plate girders
Structures <html_ent glyph="@amp;" ascii="&"/> Buildings, 2004Hot rolled beams can show insufficient strength or inertia and result in the inclusion of steel plate girders in the design (portal frames, steel and composite bridges). More efficient structural elements can often be achieved by designing these plate girders with a tapered girder profile.

Design of Steel Plate and Box-Girder Bridges
Journal of the Structural Division, 1975After recent construction failures, several west European countries have decided to review their national standards. At the same time, on an European level, Task Group VIII-3 of the ECCS was formed to develop and codify design rules for ultimate strength design for large plate and box girder bridges.

Shear failure characteristics of steel plate girders
Thin-Walled Structures, 2009A number of full-scale plate girders are modeled and analyzed to determine their shear failure mechanism characteristics. An objective of this numerical nonlinear large deflection elastoplastic finite element study is to clarify how, when, and why plastic hinges that emerge in experimental tests actually form.

Optimization of continuous steel plate girder bridges
Structural Optimization, 1991The minimization method and structural optimization approach used in the SPGBROD program for the optimization of continuous steel plate girder highway bridges are briefly described. The standard optimal design formulation used in the program in discussed. An expression for the maximum deflection of continuous highway bridges is derived in order to form

Galvanizing-Induced Distortion in Steel Plate Girders. I: Effects of Girder Geometry
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2019AbstractThis study investigates the distortion behavior of steel plate girders under the cumulative influence of welding and hot-dip galvanizing processes and is presented in two papers.

Strengthening of a Steel Bridge Girder Using CFRP Plates
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2001For bridge owners faced with a rising number of structurally deficient steel bridges, the rehabilitation of steel girders using advanced composite materials offers an attractive solution for short-term retrofit or long-term rehabilitation. Several laboratory studies conducted at the University of Delaware have shown that carbon fiber-reinforced polymer

Properties of Structural Steels in a Railway Plate Girder Bridge
IABSE Congress Reports, 2016<p>The results of an examination on structural steels of different grades from a three-span plate girder bridge are presented. The riveted structure consists of six spans of a similar structure but constructed at different periods over the bridge’s service life, with two of the spans estimated to be original and dating from 1873.

Stability Considerations in the Design of Steel Plate Girders
Journal of the Structural Division, 1960Results of tests conducted on large steel plate girders; stability requirements of webs and stiffeners of large-scale steel girders; different combinations of bending and shear are considered; design rules for determining thicknesses of webs and locations and dimensions of vertical and horizontal stiffeners.
