End anchorage not required if
(clause 4.4.5.4)
• The shear capacity and not shear buckling is the
governing criteria in the end panel i.e.Vw=Pv
• A tension field is not formed in the end panel:
i.e. Fv < Vcr
where Vcr is the critical shear buckling resistance
of the panel which is given by:
if Vw = Pv then Vcr = Pv
if Pv Vw 0.72Pv then Vcr = (9Vw - 2Pv)/7
if Vw 0.72Pv then Vcr = (Vw/0.9)2/Pv

Example
A plate girder consists of two 500 x 30 mm flange plates and a 1200 x 12 mm
web plate, both in S275 steel.

flanges alone.

The flange is therefore Class 2.
Web d/t = 1200/12 = 100 < the limit for a Class 3 web subject to bending, only (120)
The web is therefore Class 3. 35

Moment Capacity
The d/t of the web is > 62 and will therefore be subject to
shear buckling, assuming that the shear is high. The flanges
are not slender. Therefore, try the flanges only method to
calculate the moment capacity.

Shear Buckling Resistance Using the “simplified method”,

R Liew
The Shear Buckling Resistance of the web can be increased towards the end of the
girder, where the moment is low. Assume that in the end panel, the moment is not
greater than 10% of the moment capacity and that ff/pyf = 0.1
