PLATE GIRDER Built-up plate girders Design | S06
Summary Plate Girder designs I-shaped sections with identical or different top and bottom flanges. The program also allows the user to model tapered elements. The program checks the behaviour of girders under specified loading and gives guidance regarding bearing and intermediate stiffeners. The analysis output can be viewed graphically, or detailed design calculations can be shown.
What makes this module special?
• Ability to model tapered sections • Unsymmetrical I-sections can be used within design • Graphical and detailed output given
Detailed Description Welded plate girders can often be effectively and economically used as flexural sections. Modern mechanised manufacturing and automated welding techniques have simplified the production of plate girders greatly, boosting their popularity. Plate Girder can design I-shaped sections with identical or different top and bottom flanges. The program also allows you to vary the section properties along the length of the girder to model a tapered element.
The program checks the behaviour of girders under specified loading and gives guidance regarding bearing and intermediate stiffeners.
