Multiple Choice

Built up beams used to Carry heavy loads on longer span

• beams

• Trusses

• Columns

• Plate girders

Multiple Choice

Shear buckling of web in a plate girder is prevented by using

• 
  vertical intermediate stiffener

  
  

• 
  horizontal stiffener at neutral axis

  
  

• 
  bearing stiffener

• none

Multiple Choice

Minimum spacing of vertical stiffners is limited to

• d/4

• d/3

• d/2

• 2d/3

Multiple Choice

Horizontal stiffners are needed in plate girders if the thickness of web is less than

• 6mm

• Depth/200

• Span/500

• Flange thickness

Multiple Choice

To prevent local buckling in Plate girders, the horizontal stiffeners are provided

• at a distance of 0.2 times the depth of web from compression end

• at a distance of 0.2 times the depth of web from tension end

• at a distance of 0.4 times the depth of web from compression end

• at a distance of 0.4 times the depth of web from compression end

Multiple Choice

Economical depth of a plate girder corresponds to

• minimum weight

• minimum depth

• maximumweight

• minimum thickness of web

Multiple Choice

Economical depth of a plate girder is given by
