Abstract:Â The paper is based upon the derived results of variation of loading for dissimilar spans of plate girders. Plate girders have been assigned I-shaped cross section with symmetrical flanges. The depth of the girder is has been kept between one-tenth to one-twelfth of the span and is assigned according to loading and architectural requirements. The girders have been designed using simple post-critical method. The end-load bearing stiffeners have been designed. Shear capacity of web, lateral-torsional buckling, buckling and bearing capacity and torsional resistance of end-bearing stiffener has been checked through Indian Standard codal provisions. The end-stiffener connection has also been designed for ready-made usage by designers.
