    This document provides the design of a deck type plate girder railway bridge for a single track with an effective span of 24 meters. The design includes computation of loads, bending moments, shear forces, and stresses. Key dimensions such as girder depth, flange plate thickness, and rivet spacing are calculated. Intermediate stiffeners are designed to be spaced at a maximum of 1830 mm to limit the shear stress to below permissible levels. The complete design procedure is outlined over multiple steps covering the central girder section, end connections, and intermediate stiffeners.

    Design a deck type plate girder railway bridge for single tract B.G. main line loading for the
    following data:

    1.

    Effective span

    24 m.

    2.

    Spacing of plate girder

    1.9 m c/c

    3.

    Weight of stock rails

    440 N/m (90 lb/yard rails)

    4.

    Weight of guard rails

    260 N/m

    5.

    Weight of fastenings etc

    280 N/m of track

    6.

    Timber sleepers

    250 mm x 150 mm x 2.8 m @0.4 m c/c

    7.

    Density of timber

    7.4 KN/m 3

    Take permissible stresses as per Railway Steel Bridge Code.


    Solution:
    Step 1 Computation of loads, B.M. and S.F. in Plate girder
    Weight of main rails per metre run of track

    = 0.44 x 2

    = 0.88 KN/m

    Weight of guard rails per metre run of track

    = 0.26 x 2

    = 0.52 KN/m

    Weight of fastening per metre run of track @ 0.28 KN/m

    = 0.25 KN/m

    Weight of sleeper per metre run of track =

    = 1.94 KN/m
    Total Load

    Self weight of girder for B.G. main line loading is w = 0.78 L


    Total dead load per meter run of track
    Total Dead Load

    = 3.62 KN/m
    = 18.72 KN/m

    = 3.62 + 18.72 = 22.34 KN/m


    = 22.34 x 24

    = 536.2 KN

    Dead load per girder = 0.5 x 536.2 = 268.1 KN


    EUDL for B.M., for BG (revised) for loaded length L = span = 24 m is 2034 KN
    CDA = 0.15 + (8/(6+L)) = 0.15 + (8/(6+24)) = 0.417
    Impact load (I.L.) for B.M., = 2034 x 0.417 = 848.2 KN
    Hence total load per track = 536.2 + 2034 + 848.2 = 3418.4
    Hence load per girder, for B.M. = 0.5 x 3418.4 = 1709.2 KN
    M max = (WL/8) = (1709.2 x 24) / 8 = 5127.6 KN/m
    This occurs at the mid span of each girder. B.M. at distance x from the mid span is
    M x = 5127.6 (1709.2/24) x X 2/2 = 5127.6 35.61X 2
    Fro end sections, L = 24 m
    Hence EUDL for shear = 2231 KN
    CDA = 0.15 + (8/(6+24)) = 0.417
    Impact load,

    = 2231 x 0.417

    = 930.3 KN

    Total (L.L + I.L)

    = 2231 + 930.3 = 3161.3 KN per track

    Hence, (L.L + I.L)

    = 0.5 x 3161.3 1580.6 KN

    S.F. due to (L.L + I.L)

    = 0.5 x 1580.6

    Dead load per girder, Wd

    = 268.1 KN

    Dead load shear per girder

    = 0.5 x 268.1 = 134.1 KN

    Total S.F. at each end of a girder

    = 790.3KN

    = 790.3 + 134.1 = 924.4 KN

    For any section x from one end, L = l x


    Let We be the total L.L. + I.L. one length L for each girder F x = RA = (We (l-x))/2l
    For section at 2 m from end, L = 24 2 = 22 m
    EUDL for shear = 2102 KN
    CDA = 0.436
    (L.L + I.L) = 2102 (1 + 0.436) = 3018.4 KN
    For both girders, (L.L + I.L) for each girder = W e = 0.5 x 3018.4 = 1509.2 KN

    F 2 = (1509.2 (24 2)) / (2 x 24) = 691.7 KN


    Also, S.F. due to dead load = ((W d)/2)-((W d)/l)x = (268.1/2)-(268.1/24)x =134.05-11.17x
    At x = 2m, F = 134.05 111.17 x 2 = 111.7 KN
    Total shear = 691.7 + 111.7 = 803.4 KN
    Step 2. Design of central section of plate girder:
    M max = 5127.6 KN-m.
    Economical depth d = 1.1 (M / t w b) = 1.1. (5127.6 / 10 x 138) = 2120 mm
    D = 1.1. (5127.6E6 / 12 x 138) = 1936 mm
    Hence adopt d = 2000 mm and tw = 12 mm.
    Area of web A w = tw x d = 12 x 2000 = 24000 mm 2
    Area of flange A f = (M/bt x d) = (5127.6E6/138 x 2000) = 18578 mm 2
    Net are of flange plates A p = (2/3)Af (1/8)A w = (2/3)x18578 (1/8)x24000 = 9386 mm 2
    Keep gross area of plates = 1.2 x 9386 = 11263 mm 2
    Provide two plates 500 x 12 mm each having A p = 2x500x12 = 12000 mm 2
    Net area of flange angles A a` = A f /3 = 18578 / 3 = 6193 mm 2
    Keep gross area of flange angles A a = 1.25 x 6193 = 7740 mm2
    Gross area of each angle = 7740 / 2 = 3870 mm 2
    Choose 2 ISA 200 x 150 x 12 mm @ 13.8 kg/m, each having A = 4056 mm 2
    Step 3. Design of riveted jointing connecting flange angles with the web:
    (L.L. + I.L.) per girder, per mm run = (0.5 x 224.6) / 1200 (1+1) = 0.187 KN/mm
    Dead load of track, per girder = 0.5 x 3.62 = 1.81E-3 KN/mm
    Total load w on compression flange = 0.187 + 0.00181 = 0.189 KN/mm
    (a) For compression flange:
    P = 59.86 / (((924.4/2000) + (14112/14112+4000)) 2 + 0.1892) = 147.2 mm
    (b) For tension flange:
    P = ((59.86 x 2000)/924.4) x ((7080 + 3000)/7080) = 184.4 mm
    Max. permissible pitch = 16 x 12 = 192 mm.
    Hence provide uniform pitch of 180 mm throughout the length.
    Step 4. Design of riveted joint connecting flange plates to flange angles:

    (a) Connection of flange plate to flange angle in compression flange, at ends


    V = 924.4 KN and one plate is available in top flange.
    A f = 8112 + 1200/2 = 14112 mm2
    Bearing = 21.5 x 12 x 232E-3 = 59.86 KN, R = 36.3 KN
    P = ((36.3 x 2000)/924.4) x ((14112 + 4000)/6000) = 237 mm
    (b) Connection of flange plate to flange angles in tension flange at 3.66 m ends:
    Af = 7080 + 10968 / 2 = 12564 mm 2
    (1/8)Aw = 3000 mm2. V = 703 KN.
    P = ((36.3 x 2000)/703) x ((12564 + 3000)/10968/2)) = 293 mm.
    Step 6. Design of end stiffener:
    End reaction = 924.4 KN
    Permissible bearing stress = 185 N/mm2
    Bearing area required = (((3/4) x 924.4E3)/185) = 3748 mm 2
    4t a (150 10) = 3748
    Which gives t a = 6.7 mm
    However provide 150 x 75 x 8 mm angles having A = 1742 mm 2
    Actual length of stiffener = 2000 2 x 12 = 1976 mm
    Effective length of stiffener = (3/4) x 1976 = 1482 mm
    l/r = 1482/69.3 = 21.4
    Hence Load carrying capacity = 132.65 x 10568E-3 = 1402 KN.
    Design of riveted connection for the end stiffener:
    Strength of 20mm dia. rivets in double shear = 2 x (/4) x 21.5 2 x 100E-3 = 72.6 KN
    Strength of rivets in bearing on web = 21.5 x 12 x 233E-3 = 59.68 KN
    No. of rivets required = 924.4/59.86 = 16
    Hence provide 8 rivets, in each row, thus making a total of 16 rivets.
    Step 7. Design of intermediate stiffeners:
    V = 924.4 KN
    Shear stress, fs = (924.4E3 / 2000 x 12) = 38.5 N/mm2
    Hence for d = 1700 mm, tw = 12 mm and fs = 38.5 N/mm2
    While for overall depth of 2438 mm, depth of 2048 mm.

    Try 2 ISA 125 x 75 x 8,


    Outstand face of web = 125 mm
    f s = (682.6E3 / 2000 x 12) = 28.4 N/mm2
    Hence Max. spacing = 1900 mm.
    Maximum permissible spacing = 1830 mm as per railway bridge code.
    The Design procedure is completed.
