A welded plate girder roadway deck bridge, Flange Plate

with 20 cm R.C. slab deck has span of 28 m 64 X3.8 cm
is divided into 6 equal panels. Depth of Web Plate
280X1.4 cm
plate girder is 2.80 m., - Fig. 1.

Fig. (1)
It is required to:-

1) Use pre-tensioned bolts M24 grade 10.9 Ps = 5.55 ton to design field splice (Q at splice
position = 60 ton) .

2) Write dimensions and other data for Figure (3).

Upper Splice Plate: b1 = .................. cm t1 = ......................cm

Lower Splice plate:

b2 = (b1 - tw - 4)/2 b2 = ...................... cm
( b1 x t1) /2 = b2 X t2 t2 =............................... cm

..................................................................................................................................................

n1 = (Afl X 0.58 Fy)/ 2 Ps

n1 = (.........................................................) / ............................
