Abstract
A detailed record of the experimental results obtained from tests on a full-size riveted plate girder with a web plate thinner than that required tinder the present design specifications is reported herein.
Both the web-buckling phenomenon and the diagonal-tension phenomenon of the web plate under load were carefully observed. Comparison was then made between the computed buckling loads and the values determined from experimental data. Particular emphasis was laid on the behavior of the web after being loaded beyond the conventionally termed “buckling load”, with a view to evaluating the importance of the buckling of the web with respect to practical design. Study was also made on the change in the shear-carrying behavior of the web after buckling occurred and on the ability of the web to withstand loads in excess of the buckling value.
