Live load for bending, (for span of 15 m) = 2356 kN Impact load = 961.2
Total factored load = 1.5 (2918.5 + 961.2 ) Maximum bending moment in our plate girder. = X w l /w 8 Bending moment = 9093.75- 5820/(2 X 25 X x2/ 2) Assume thickness of the (web = 12 mm) = 9093.76 58.2 x2 = 5819.55 kN
= 9093.75 kNm
So optimum depth to carry the moment = (9094X 106)/(250 X 12) Adopt the depth of the web as 2000 mm Net area of tension flange:= 1741.1 mm

Assume the flange width as h/0.3 ie, 0.3 times the web depth = 600 mm Z p = M d X m0 /f y = 3.676 X 107 mm3 So required thickness = 50 mm
Z p of the section considers that flanges only take the bending moment = 6.15 X 107 mm3 > Z p req

Design bending strength = 782.7.105 kNm < 9093.75 kNm = 6.15 X 107 X 127.27
= 127.27 MPa
Hence increase the flange thickness to 60mm Z p = 2 X 600 X 60 X 1025 M d ~ 9339.07 kN > 9093 kN Hence take 60mm as the final thickness of the web.

67 ( K v /5.35) = 67 ( 7.35/5.35) = 78
d/t w = 2000 / 12 = 166 > 78 hence shear buckling strength governs the design.
V d = 1171.2/ 1.1
In the tension field method, the nominal shear resistance, V n , is given by V tf = [A v b + 0.9 w tf t w f v sin] V p b = buckling strength f v = yield strength of the tension field obtained from = 1.5 b sin2 = 62.71 = [ f yw 2 - 3 b 2 + 2]0.5 = 1.5 X 48.28 X sin600 = tan-1(d/c)/1.5 = 48.26 MPa
w tf = the width of the tension field, given by: f yw = yield stress of the web d = depth of the web = dcos (c s c s t )sin
c = spacing of stiffeners in the web b = shear stress corresponding to buckling of the web. tension flange respectievley, as obtained from: s = (2/sin) [M fr / f yw t w ]0.5 c

where
M fr = 0.25 b f t f 2 f yf [ 1 {N f / (b f t f f yf / mo )}2] N f is the axial force in the flange. Assume an anchorage of 40% = (1171.2 + 782.35) = 1953.55 kN Hence w tf is found to be 800 mm.
V tf = [A v b + 0.9 X 800 X 12 X 181.1 X sin300] So the design shear strength = V tf / 1.1 = 1775.95 kN It can be seen that the strength has increased by 66% from that of a post buckling shear strength design.
