Total dead load = 22.5 kN/ m Total Load = 2918.5

Live load for bending, (for span of 15 m) = 2356 kN Impact load = 961.2

Total factored load = 1.5 (2918.5 + 961.2 ) Maximum bending moment in our plate girder. = X w l /w 8 Bending moment = 9093.75- 5820/(2 X 25 X x2/ 2) Assume thickness of the (web = 12 mm) = 9093.76 58.2 x2 = 5819.55 kN

= 9093.75 kNm

Therefore optimum depth d = (MK/f y.t.w )

So optimum depth to carry the moment = (9094X 106)/(250 X 12) Adopt the depth of the web as 2000 mm Net area of tension flange:= 1741.1 mm

Assume the flange width as h/0.3 ie, 0.3 times the web depth = 600 mm Z p = M d X m0 /f y = 3.676 X 107 mm3 So required thickness = 50 mm

M/(F au X Lever arm) = (9094 X 106 )/(150 X 2000) = 30313.33 mm2

Z p of the section considers that flanges only take the bending moment = 6.15 X 107 mm3 > Z p req

Calculation of Moment Capacity

Effective length = 0.7 X 25 = 17.5 m f = 1 b = (600 -12) / 2 = 294 mm b/t f = 294 / 50 = 5.98 < 9.4, plastic section d/t w = 2000/12 = 166 > 15.7 , slender The section is classified as slender. The flange is plastic and the web is slender. Therefore the web cannot be loaded to plastic moment Iz = 2 X [

Design bending strength = 782.7.105 kNm < 9093.75 kNm = 6.15 X 107 X 127.27

Hence increase the flange thickness to 60mm Z p = 2 X 600 X 60 X 1025 M d ~ 9339.07 kN > 9093 kN Hence take 60mm as the final thickness of the web.

Calculation Of Shear Capacity

Resistance to shear buckling:d/t w > 67 for web without stiffeners d/t w > 67 ( K v /5.35) for web without stiffeners. Assume the stiffeners are provided at 2m intervals. c/d = 2000/2000 = 1 so K v = 5.35 + 4/ (c/d)2 = 7.35

8.4.2.1 IS 800 2007

67 ( K v /5.35) = 67 ( 7.35/5.35) = 78

d/t w = 2000 / 12 = 166 > 78 hence shear buckling strength governs the design.

a.) Simple post Critical Method

Shear strength (normal) V n = m0 = A v X b a) b = f yw / 3 ; for w = 0.8 c) b = f yw / 3 ; w > 1.2 b is the shear strength corresponding to web buckling b) b = [1 0.8 ( w 0.8)] f yw / 3 ; 0.8 < w 1.2 w = (f y /(3 cr,w )) cr = (K v 2 E) / (12 (1 - 2)(d/t w )2) For the assumed section = 47.83 Mpa cr = (7.35 X 2 X 2 X 105)/ 12 (1 - 0.32 )(166.6)2 = 1.73 > 1.12 8.4.2.2 (a) IS 800 2007

w = 250/(3 X 4783) b = 250 / 3 w 2 = 48.28 Mpa V cr = A v X b = t wd X b = 250 / 3 X 1.732

V d = 1171.2/ 1.1

= 2000 X 12 X b = 1171.2 kN = 1064.7 kN

b.) Tension Field Method

The tension field method, based on the post shear buckling strength, 8.4.2.2 (b) may be used for webs with intermediate transverse stiffeners, in IS 800 2007 addition to the transverse stiffeners at supports, provided the panel under tension fielda action, or the end posts peovide anchorage for the tension fields and if c/d 1.0, where c, d are the spacing of the

transverse stiffeners and depth of the web respectievley. V n = V tf Where, Where,

In the tension field method, the nominal shear resistance, V n , is given by V tf = [A v b + 0.9 w tf t w f v sin] V p b = buckling strength f v = yield strength of the tension field obtained from = 1.5 b sin2 = 62.71 = [ f yw 2 - 3 b 2 + 2]0.5 = 1.5 X 48.28 X sin600 = tan-1(d/c)/1.5 = 48.26 MPa

= inclination of the tension field = tan-1(1)/1.5 f v = 181.1 MPa = 300

w tf = the width of the tension field, given by: f yw = yield stress of the web d = depth of the web = dcos (c s c s t )sin

c = spacing of stiffeners in the web b = shear stress corresponding to buckling of the web. tension flange respectievley, as obtained from: s = (2/sin) [M fr / f yw t w ]0.5 c

s c , s t = anchorage lengths of tension field along the compression and

where

M fr = 0.25 b f t f 2 f yf [ 1 {N f / (b f t f f yf / mo )}2] N f is the axial force in the flange. Assume an anchorage of 40% = (1171.2 + 782.35) = 1953.55 kN Hence w tf is found to be 800 mm.

V tf = [A v b + 0.9 X 800 X 12 X 181.1 X sin300] So the design shear strength = V tf / 1.1 = 1775.95 kN It can be seen that the strength has increased by 66% from that of a post buckling shear strength design.
