A welded plate girder of Grade S275 steel carries two concentrated loads transmitted from 254x254 UC 107 columns at the third points. The columns rest on the top flange and the loads are each 400 kN dead load and 250 kN imposed load, respectively. The plate girder is 12 m span and is simply supported at its ends. The compression flange has adequate lateral restraint at the points of concentrated loads and at the supports. Assume that the weight of the girder is 4 kN/m and that the girder is supported on brackets at each end. Assuming that the depth limit is 1400 mm for the plate girder, (a) draw the shear force diagram; (b) draw the bending moment diagram, (c) estimate the optimum depth for the plate girder; (d) calculate the flange area. Assume that the flange plates are less than 16mm for a steel grade of 275 N/mm2.

An 80-foot long plate girder (see below) is fabricated from a ½-inch x 78-inch web and two 3inch x 22-inch flanges. Continuous lateral support is provided. The steel is A992. The loading consists of a uniform service dead load of 1.0 kip/ft (including the self-weight), a uniform service live load of 2.0 kips/ft, and a concentrated service live load of 500 kips at midspan. Stiffeners are placed at each end and at 4 feet, 16 feet, and 28 feet from each end. Once stiffener is placed at midspan. Determine whether the flexural strength is adequate using LRFD.
PROBLEM: Light grade steel channel was used as purlin of the truss. The top chord of the truss is inclined 1V:3H and the distance between the trusses is 5m. The purlin weighs 100n/m and spaced at 1m apart. The roof carries superimposed dead load of 1000 Pa (including its weight) and the ceiling carries a load of 1200 Pa. Roof live load is assumed to be 1500 Pa. The roof is part of the building located at a place where the design wind speed is 240 kph. Assume the unit weight of air to be 12 N/m3. The windward coefficient is 0.20 and the leeward coefficient is 0.70.

Assume also that the loads from self-weight of thewu = 2.0 kip/ft (girder self weight and beams framing into this transfer girder are equivalentto a uniformly distributed load). These loads are shown in the last figure.a) Check whether the W36x210 ‘Transfer Girder’ is adequate for bending and shear.Assume the unbraced length Lb =20 ft.b) Suppose that service loads, w and P, are both 50% dead load and 50% live load.
