(c) Design suitable section for unstiffened plate girder having span 20 m to carry 07
superimposed load of 40 kN/m including self weight and two point loads 130 kN at
4 m from each the support. Check for stress and deflection criteria.

Q.4 (a) Design a section for welded plate girder for span of 22 m. The girder is laterally 07
restrained throughout and carrying U.D.L. of 44 kN/m (including self-weight) over
the entire span with two point loads 180 kN at 5 m from each support.
