 PLATE GIRDER
A beam, used in situations where the
H AT?
loads are heavy and the span longer, W
usually for bridge construction.
Make up from web and flange.
Flexible

~WEB STIFFENERS~
Used to avoid web failures or buckling
comply with lower web thickness.
There are two types:-
1. Intermediate Stiffeners
2. Load bearing Stiffeners
Problem Statement
- Plane web is slender and
buckles OBJECTIVE OF
- The needs of thick web or the RESEARCH
used of web stiffener along - To study the
the span comparison between
- Manufacturing & assembling both type
parts are complicated and - To develop and
time consuming analyze both type
- To proposed the
most effective
Significant of research: design
Eliminate stiffeners

Method - finite element analysis with the aid of ANSYS software
27 Models, 3 thickness ( each have 3 corrugation width with each then
have 3 corrugation thickness))

as the width of corrugations increases, the

CONCLUSIO
N buckling strength of corrugated web increases
as compared to plane web plate girder.

DISCUSSION
- behavor of triangular web
Corrugation increase stress resist

- Effeciveness of web
None of triangular web plate girder model are better than plane web
girder in stress resistance.

CONCLUSION
- Corrugation of web can control web behavior
- Effectiveness of triangular web girder cant be achieve by
just fix the weight.
