2.1.1 Introduction
In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the
members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". [1] A
"two-force member" is a structural component where force is applied to only two points.
Although this rigorous definition allows the members to have any shape connected in any
stable configuration, trusses typically comprise five or more triangular units constructed
with straight members whose ends are connected at joints referred to as nodes.
In this typical context, external forces and reactions to those forces are considered to act
only at the nodes and result in forces in the members that are either tensile or compressive.
For straight members, moments (torques) are explicitly excluded because, and only
because, all the joints in a truss are treated as revolutes, as is necessary for the links to be
two-force members.
A planar truss is one where all members and nodes lie within a two dimensional plane,
while a space truss has members and nodes that extend into three dimensions. The top
beams in a truss are called top chords and are typically in compression, the bottom beams
are called bottom chords, and are typically in tension. The interior beams are called webs,
and the areas inside the webs are called panels

3.3.1 Introduction
Gantry girders are laterally unsupported beams to carry heavy loads from place to place at
the construction sites, mostly these are of steel material.
A girder is a support beam used in construction. It is the main horizontal support of a

structure which supports smaller beams. Girders often have an I-beam cross section
composed of two load-bearing flanges separated by a stabilizing web, but may also have a
box shape, Z shape and other forms. A girder is commonly used many times in the building
of bridges.
Gantry cranes are a type of crane built atop a gantry, which is a structure used to straddle
an object or workspace.
Overhead travelling cranes are used in factories and workshops to lift heavy materials
equipments, etc and to carry them from one place to the other. These cranes are either hand
operated or electrically operated. The crane consists of a bridge spanning the bay of the
shop.
A trolley or a crab is mounted on the bridge. The trolley moves along the bridge. The
bridge as a whole moves longitudinally on rails provided at the ends.
The rails on either side of the bridge rest on crane gantry girders. The gantry girders are the
girders which support the loads transmitted through the travelling (moving) wheels of the
cranes as shown in figure below

Introduction
In a plate girder bridge, the plate girders are typically I-beams made up from
separate structural steel plates (rather than rolled as a single cross-section), which
are welded or, in older bridges, bolted or riveted together to form the vertical web and
horizontal flanges of the beam.
3.1.2 Objective
 To study the design criteria of plate girder with bolted, welded- with and without stiffeners
Plate girders
Plate girders became popular in the late 1800's, when they were used in construction of
railroad bridges. The plates were joined together using angles and rivets to obtain plate
girders of desired size. By 1950's welded plate girders replaced riveted and bolted plate
girders in developed world due to their better quality, aesthetics and economy. Fig.7.15
shows the cross sections of two common types of plate girder bridges. The use of plate
girders rather than rolled beam sections for the two main girders gives the designer freedom
to select the most economical girder for the structure. If large embankment fills are required
in the approaches to the bridge, in order to comply with the minimum head-room clearance
required, the half through bridge is more appropriate [Fig.7.15 (a)]. This arrangement is
commonly used in railway bridges where the maximum permissible approach gradient for
the track is low. In this case the restraint to lateral buckling of compression flange is
achieved by a moment resisting U-frame consisting of floor beam and vertical stiffness,
which are connected together with a moment resisting joint. If the construction depth is not
critical, then a deck-type bridge, as shown in Fig.7.15 (b) is a better solution, in which case
the bracings provide restraint to compression flange against lateral buckling.
