Plate girders in buildings may be used for long span heavily loaded members, particularly if dimensional constraints make a rolled section inappropriate. Designers must consider shear lag, plate buckling and complete checks in accordance with EN 1993-1-5 , which is unfamiliar to many.

This short course will discuss all design aspects, including initial sizing, cross-sectional resistance and the resistance of stiffened webs.  The final part of the course will consider fabricated girders with thin corrugated webs – a form of construction in common use in other countries. 

This course is for designers who are required to design and verify sections fabricated from plate. No prior familiarity with EN 1993-1-5 is required. 

PLEASE NOTE: Booking for this course will close 2 working days prior to the start date.
