Structural Analysis
Plate Girders
For long spans or heavy loadings that exceed the capacity of standard rolled shapes, plate girders can be used. Plate
Plate Girders and Cover-Plated Rolled Beams
Where longitudinal beams or girders support through bridges, the spans preferably should have two main members. They should be placed sufficiently
Plastic Design
Structural steel members often have considerable reserve load-carrying capacity after yielding occurs, e.g., at the outer surfaces of a beam. For
Plate Domes
A dome is a three-dimensional structure generated by translation and rotation or only rotation of an arch rib. Thus a
