Calibration of Design Procedures for Steel Plate Girders

Advances in Structural Engineering, 1997
Test data for plate girders failing in shear have been used as the basis for a calibration of the two design procedures given in Eurocode 3 (EC3). The shear buckling resistances predicted by the simple post-critical and tension field methods were used in a modification of the Annex Z method for determining the numerical values of partial safety factors

Welded Constructional Alloy Steel Plate Girders

Journal of the Structural Division, 1964
The 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 ...

Design of Steel Plate and Box-Girder Bridges

Journal of the Structural Division, 1975
After 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.

Optimization of continuous steel plate girder bridges

Structural Optimization, 1991
The 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

Shear strength of tapered steel plate girders

Structures <html_ent glyph="@amp;" ascii="&amp;"/> Buildings, 2004
Hot 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.

Shear failure characteristics of steel plate girders

Thin-Walled Structures, 2009
A 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.

Galvanizing-Induced Distortion in Steel Plate Girders. I: Effects of Girder Geometry

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2019
AbstractThis 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.

Condition Assessment of a Steel Plate Girder Railway Bridge

IABSE Reports, 2010
<p>Condition assessment of bridges provides information regarding the intensity and extent of observed defects, the cause for these defects and possible deterioration processes that have strong impact on the safety and service life of structures.

Stability Considerations in the Design of Steel Plate Girders

Journal of the Structural Division, 1960
Results 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.

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.
