Introduction Overview
• Plate girder is essentially a DIY deep I-section
• Formed by welded steel plates (at least 3) together to form adeep section
• Large distance between the two flanges gives more optimal
structural solution than rolled or compound sections (weight and
cost) to resist bending
• Span is defined by practical requirement, the maximum depth
usually fixed by headroom requirement

Introduction Overview
Bending is mainly taken up by the flanges => tensile/compressive stress
=> Class 1 section Breadth of flange plate from 1/5 to 1/3 of depth, web depth from 1/8 to
one 1/12 of span
Web => as thin as possible for weight control => Class 4 section
Web subjected to direct
bending stress and shearstress
Stiffeners and end posts:
To prevent buckling due to
bending and shear as well
as local failure under patchloads

Introduction Basic behaviors of plated structural elements
Plated structural element subjected to direct stress: Plate-like and
column-like buckling A thin plate subjects to direct stress (e.g. web of plate girder under
bending) tends to buckle before f y is reached for the whole plate
A thin plate with aspect ratio =a/b ≥ 1 will have sufficient post-buckling
strength => “Plate-like buckling”
Pre and post critical behaviors are obvious for a prefect plate but more
gradual for imperfect plate

Introduction Basic behaviors of plated structural elements
Non uniform stress distribution developed when ultimate resistance reached
The Effective Width Method is used to account for the effect of plate-likebuckling by reducing the gross width to an appropriate effectivep width beff
adjacent to the edges and assume that f y is reached there
For a Class 4 thin plate, the reduced width beff should be used in section
properties calculations (More details in “ Surviving Class 4 Slender Section in
Eurocode 3” presented at the Regency Steel Asia Symposium, 5 August
2013)

Introduction
Basic behaviors of plated structural elements
Plated structural element subjected to shear stressThe thin and deep web is also subjected to large shear force and
thus vulnerable to shear buckling
Web buckling could occur before the “full” shear capacity
Shear buckling strength depends on aspect ratio, plate thickness,
imperfections, material properties and boundary conditions
Shear buckling could be delayed if appropriate rigid transverse
stiffeners are constructed to limit the extent and separate the
buckling regions

Bending resistance
Effective width method needs at least one iteration to calculate W eff
inconvenience when portioning the flange sizeThe “flanges-only” method is much more convenient in flange
portioning since
M f,Rd = 2bf t f (hw /2+t f /2)f y = bf t f (hw +t f )f y = Af (hw +t f )f y

Stiffeners and end post design
• Design of intermediate transverse stiffener
• Verification for direct stress
For intermediate stiffeners that is not subjected to external
axial load, Requirement (B) can be ensured by simply
limiting the B/t ratio
In general, verification for direct stress for Requirement (A)
needs a second order elastic analysis but it is not
convenient in practice.
Hence, EC3 allows two simplified methods for direct stress
verification for intermediate transverse stiffener in theabsent of external axial force

Stiffeners and end post design • Design of intermediate transverse stiffener
Verification of direct stress: Method I: Refined Ist requirementemax is the maximum distance from the edge of the stiffener to the
centroid of the stiffener
NEd is the maximum force of both adjacent panels and should be at
least equal to the maximum compressive stress at the edge of the
panel times half of the effective compressive area of the panel.
In checking, calculate u first, if u<1.0 displacement check is decisive
and set u=1.0. Otherwise, a strength check governs.

Stiffeners and end post design • Design of intermediate transverse stiffener
Verification of direct stress: Method II: Equivalent uniformlylateral load
In this method, a first order elastic analysis is carried out on the
stiffener which is loaded laterally with an equivalent u.d.l force
qdev,Ed such that
wel is the elastic deflection of the stiffener (which could only be
determined iteratively). In practice, it could be taken as the
maximum deflection = b/300

Stiffeners and end post design • Design of intermediate transverse stiffener
Verification of shear stress When shear force is present in a section, in addition to direct
stress, intermediate transverse stiffener also act as rigid support
for the interior panel.
EC3 1-5 also requires that verification for shear stress for
Requirement (A) should be carried out using second order
elastic analysis.
If both direct stress and shear stress are present at the same
section (i.e. both MEd and VEd are not zero), then the effects of
direct stress, which tends to produce additional deviation forcesand lateral deflection, must be taken into account in the analysis

Stiffeners and end post design • Design of intermediate transverse stiffener
Verification of shear stress: Minimum stiffness requirementFor intermediate transverse stiffener acts as rigid support for
panel, on top of the general Requirements (A) and (B), the
following minimum stiffness is also required for its second
moment of area for the axis parallel to the web plate, Ist
However, the above conditions does not demand very strongstiffener and does not ensure that Requirements (A) or (B)
could be met.

Stiffeners and end post design • Design of intermediate transverse stiffener
Verification of shear stress: Axial force generated by TFAIt can be shown that when shear force is present, under the
action of TFA, an axial force Nst,ten will be imposed on the
intermediate transverse stiffener such that
VEd is design shear force in the adjacent panels.
For the case of variable shear force, the value at the distance of
0.5hw from the edge of the panel with the larger force shouldbe taken

Stiffeners and end post design • Design of intermediate transverse stiffener
Verification of shear stress: Interaction with direct stressIf direct stress is present (i.e. MEd≠0), a small lateral deflection
will be induced and the deviation forces can be transformed into
additional axial force in the stiffener:
After both Nst,ten and Nst,ten are calculated, an appreciate
second order elastic model should be employed to check for the
performance of the stiffener for Requirement (A)However, EC3 1-5 does not suggest any simplified model for
the verification of Requirement (A)

Stiffeners and end post design • Design of end post
Requirements (A) and (B) should still be satisfied for the endpost and the double-sided model mentioned could be used.
As end post often subjected to large reaction force, satisfaction of
Requirement (A) which limits the maximum stress to f y may not
able to prevent the buckling of the end post as a strut
EC3 requires separate checking of the end post as a column withbuckling length not less than 0.75hw.
Curve c from EC3 Part 1-1 should be used for buckling check
The total force acting on the end post should equal to the sum of
reaction, force due to TFA and interaction with direct stress
If both ends of the end post are fixed laterally, the buckling lengthcould be taken as 0.75hw. Otherwise, a larger value should beused.

Stiffeners and end post design • Design of load bearing stiffeners
Patch loads and concentrated loads are common in plate girder Sufficient bearing resistance is needed to resist transverse
force acting on the flange plate
In case that the bearing strength provided by the web plate is
insufficient, load bearing stiffener should be constructed.
In general, Requirements (A) and (B) are also needed to besatisfied for loading bearing stiffeners.
Again, the total force acting on a load bearing stiffener should
equal to the sum of reaction, force due to TFA and interaction
with direct stress
Similar to end post, their design is often government by the
buckling resistance as a strut (with buckling length ≥0.75hw) but
without the compulsory use of two double-side plates

Summary and conclusions• EC3 Part 1-5 is devoted to “Plated structural elements”
• While the basic principles for design (limited state design) is
the same, the design procedure of EC3 Part 1-5 is differentfrom BS5950
• In general, EC3 may require higher level of analytical and
numerical modellings for the design of plated structural
elements• Important topics that are not covered here:Deflection (serviceability limit state): [EC3 Part 1-5: E.2]
Interactions between transverse forces, bending moment and
axial force [EC3 Part 1-5: 7.2]
Welded plates, cut outs in stiffener [EC3 Part 1-5: 9.23 & 9.24]Web to flange weld [EC3 Part 1-5: 9.3.5]
Guideline for finite element analysis: [EC3 Part 1-5: C]
