Design a welded plate girder for simply supported bridge deck bear with a clear span of 20 m, subjected to the following: Dead load = 18 kN/m, Impesed load = 8 kN/m, Two moving loads = 140 kN each spaced 2.5 m apart. Assume that top compression flange of the plate girder is restrained laterally and prevented from rotating. Use Ex- 250 MPa. Design as an unstiffened plate girder with thin webs.

Design a welded plate girder for simply supported bridge deck bear with a clear span of 20
m, subjected to the following: Dead load = 18 kN/m,
Impesed load = 8 kN/m, Two moving loads = 140 kN each spaced 2.5 m apart.
Assume that top compression flange of the plate girder is restrained laterally and prevented
from rotating. Use Ex- 250 MPa. Design as an unstiffened plate girder with thin webs.
