Description
Excerpt from Plate-Girder Construction
For railway as well as highway bridges, there is probably no other form of girders that are more extensively used and daily being constructed than plate girders. The reason for this lies mainly in the simplicity of their construction and their stiffness as compared with Open-girders. That the construction of a plate-girder is simple, is, however, no reason to suppose that the stresses produced in it by external forces are, also, simple. On the contrary, to de termine the actual stresses in every part of a plate-girder is one of the most complicated problems that can come in the way of bridge engineers.
