29
Q

reasons of flange buckling, web buckling, web crippling

A

Flange buckling - Bending compression
Web buckling - Diagonal compression
web crippling - Bearing stress

30
Q

permissible deflections in gantry girder

span/500 manual operated
span/750 electrically operated
span/1000 capacity > 50t

31
Q

use criteria of stiffners in Plate girders
