PLATE GIRDER Built-up plate girders Design | S06
Buckling under axial compression The program assumes that the effect of axial compression is small and therefore uses the full moment capacity for bending about the major axis. No capacity reduction is made on account of buckling about the major axis. The analysis output can be viewed graphically, or you can view the detailed design calculations. Diagrams of the following results are given: The deflected shape of the plate girder. Ultimate limit state bending moment diagram. The bending moment diagram is drawn on the tension face of the girder. Ultimate limit state shear force diagrams. Bending stresses at ultimate limit state. The stresses in the top and bottom flanges are shown in red and yellow respectively. The shear stresses at ultimate limit state together with the shear capacity for various web stiffener spacing. The actual stresses are shown in red and the shear capacities in blue.
