| Abstract: |
In very large steel bridge girders, the web often must be composed of more than one plate strip. As an alternative to longitudinal stiffeners of a slender web of uniform thickness, the bottom web plate strip my be designed as a vertical extension of the bottom flange – thicker than the upper web strip. A thicker bottom web strip enhances both the shear buckling resistance of the web and the bending moment resistance of the cross-section. The magnitude of these beneficial effects are adressed in this article. Moreover, the effect on the shear-bending resistance interaction is investigated. Non- linear finite element simulation is conducted and comparison to the predictions of the EC 3 is made. |
