Plate Girder Design for 30m Span

A plate girder bridge is designed for a 30m span to support a track. The bridge must support a dead load of 7.5 kN/m and live loads of 27.5 kN/m and 29.5 kN/m. The bridge will have a top of rail at +0.00m, embankment level at +0.50m, and embankment width of 4m with 1.5:1 side slopes. Views to be drawn include a half longitudinal section and elevation, half plan at top and foundations, cross section, and longitudinal elevation of the plate girder.

railroads5 highways5 or other traffic. 4 -eam -uilt up of steel plates and shapes which may -e
welded or -olted together to form a deep -eam larger than rolled steel sections availa-le is called
plate girder. 6t is capa-le of supporting greater loads on longer spans. 4 typical
plate girder consists of flange plates connected to a deep we- plate with vertical stiffeners
connected to the we- plate and may have additional cover plates on the flanges to increase the
load capacity of the mem-er. 6n general5 the depth of plate girders is one7tenth to one7twelfth of
the span length5 varying slightly for heavier or lighter loads.
&tiffeners5 plates or angles5 may -e attached to the girder we- -y welding or -olting to
increase the -uckling resistance of the we-. &tiffeners are also re"uired to transfer the
concentrated forces of applied loads and reactions to the we- without producing local -uckling.
&plices are re"uired for we-s and flanges when full lengths of plates are not availa-le from the
mills or when shorter lengths are more readily fa-ricated. &plices provide the necessary
continuity re"uired in the we- and flanges.
