2 04 sci p185 guidance notes on best practice in steel bridge construction 2 04 1 gn204r3 revision 3 scope this guidance note gives information about practical detailing for bearing stiffeners for plate girder bridges without longitudinal stiffeners.
Both bearing and the compressive resistance of the system are check.
Web yielding crippling buckling and stiffener criteria for concentrated load or reaction per aisc 9th edition manual asd.
Their purpose is to reinforce the webs of i joists at different locations.
Stiffeners are assumed to be full depth from flange to flange 39 20 1 61 17.
The support positions of box girders usually.
To verify the shear resistance of the beam to en 1993 1 5 clauses 5 2 1 and 5 3 1.
Figure 8 6 3 1 shows transverse stiffeners aka web stiffeners in a bridge application.
X the diameter of circular openings is generally restricted to 0 5d.
Steel beams with web openings version ii 28 4 x the best location for opening is where the shear force is the lowest.

Online calculator for performing steel beam web stiffener analysis calculations.
Web stiffeners are required in three different situations.
The unique design of the easyclip quicktwist web stiffener allows it to be easily rotated in place for a tight fit between flanges.
If there is a chance the i joist s webs might break through the flanges.
The moment of inertia fg of the transverse stiffeners used to develop the available web shear strength as provided in section g2 1 about an axis in the web center for stiffener pairs or about the face in contact with the web plate for single stiffeners shall meet the following requirement fg i jk g2 7 where k 8 9 2 0 5.
This video shows a worked example for calculating the capacity of web bearing stiffeners.
To determine if longitudinal stiffeners are required on the web to give the main beams sufficient shear strength the procedure is as for intermediate stiffeners i e.
The equations for shear capacity are in part a function of k v which is a factor that accounts for the presence of transverse stiffeners.
Web stiffeners are nothing more than wood blocks.
The clear spacing between such opening.
Screws shall be driven through the top bottom and middle prepunched holes as shown in the illustrations.
The web stiffener shall be secured to the web of the joint with 3 10 16 screws.
Scm g2 1 is used to compute the shear strength of steel beam webs.
