Design Considerations Design Considerations

Rolled Sections:
Beam Compact flanges and webs, so local buckling and shear buckling are not
probable limit states.
Plate Girder is a Beam. So ordinary beam design philosophy applies to
plate girder.
Plate Girder:
‹Elastic bend buckling strength
Plate Buckling ‹Elastic shear buckling strength
‹Post-bend-buckling strength
Plate Girder is made up of thinner plates compared to rolled sections. So, ‹Post-shear-buckling strength
various kinds of plate buckling problems are associated with plate girder. ‹Other local buckling strength

Local Buckling of Flange Vertical Buckling of Flange

When the flange is in compression, it develops wave formations along When the web is too slender, the compression flange may buckle in
free edges. the vertical plane a stress less than yield stress.

Compressive stress in the web above neutral axis may cause buckling The web may cripple due to direct vertical compressive stress coming
of the web. from loads or reactions.

The web may go overall buckling due to direct compressive load

acting towards web in the vertical direction.

Global Buckling Issues… Global Buckling Issues…

Shear buckling of web and tension field action Shear buckling of web and tension field action

Load

Longitudinal flexural stress and vertical shear stress causes principle

stresses to develop in diagonal direction in two mutually orthogonal
directions – one compressive and one tensile. The diagonal
compressive stress causes buckling of the web plate in the diagonal
direction creating diagonal waves or wrinkles.
