PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF PLATE GIRDER REFERENCE

INPUT
Factored Load at Center Cf = 1000.00 [kN]
Factored Dead Load UDL = 100.00 [kN/m]
Material Yield Strength Fy = 350.00 [MPa]
Performance Factor Phi = 0.90
Span Length L = 10.00 [m]

OUTPUT

Factored Moment Mf = (Cf * L)/4 + (UDL * L^2 )/8 = 3750.00 [kN*m]

Factored Shear Vf = (Cf / 2) + (UDL * L)/2 = 1000.00 [kN]

Recommended Height h' = 540 * (Mf / Fy)^(1/3) = 1190 [mm] Eqn 2.1 on report

Min.Web Sl for Red.Moment Sl_w min = 1900 / Fy^.5 = 102 $15.4

Max.Web Slenderness Sl_w max = 83000 / Fy = 237 $13.4.1.3

Maximum Shear Strength Fs = 0.66*Fy = 231.00 [MPa] $13.4.1.1(a)

Web Size Selection:

Web Area Aw = Vf*1000/(Phi*Fs) = 4810.00 [mm^2]
Trial Web Thickness w = Aw/h' = 4.04 [mm]

Web Slenderness Sl_w = h' / w = 295

Reselect
Check Web Slenderness web_check = IF(AND(Sl_w >Sl_w min, Sl_w <Sl_w max) ,"OK","Reselect Web Siz= Web Size

Reselect Web Thickness w' = 6.00 [mm]

Web Slenderness Sl_w' = h' / w' = 198

Check Web Slenderness web_reselect = IF(AND(Sl_w' >Sl_w min, Sl_w' <Sl_w max) ,"OK","Reselect Web Si= OK

Flange Size Selection:

Appro. Flange Area Af' = Mf * 1000000 / ( Fy * h') = 9000.12 [mm^2]
Max. Flange Slenderness Sl_f max = 200 / (Fy)^.5 = 11 $11.2 Table 1

Trial Flange Width b = Af'/t = 360.00 [mm]

Trial Flange Thickness t = 25.00 [mm]

Flange Slenderness Sl_f = b / (2*t) = 7.20

Check Flange Sl flange_check = IF(Sl_f < Sl_f max, "OK", "Reselect Flange Size") = OK
