Plate girder design example

Sheet 10 of 10

Rev

For panels DE, a = 5650mm. For a 2 h,,, the compressibe axial force Pro is given by:

BS EN 1993-1-5 C 1 NA.2.7

orbd

= 0 for

a symmetric section; Vbd= 1440 kN

L = kzor

For a/h,+2 I , k , = 5.34

+ 4.00(h,Ja)2 = 5.34 + 4.00(200/5650)2 = 5.84

BS EN 1993-1-5 Annex A.3

q r = k Z o b=5.84x10.7=62.4Nlmmz

=1440-(0.8x62.4x2000x15x10") =-96.7kN

:.Take Pro = 0.

The total compressive ,force to he resisted is therefore 925 + 0 = 925 k N Buckling resistance of the stiffener (as above) NI,,Hd = 1881 k N > 925 kN

OK
