Q. For what purpose stiffeners are used in a plate girder?
Solution:
- Stiffeners are secondary plates or sections which are attached to beam webs or flanges to stiffen them against out of plane deformations.
- Almost all main bridge beams will have stiffeners.
- Flange stiffeners may be used on large span box girder bridges but are unlikely to be encountered elsewhere.
