14M Steel Beam Bridge Design Guide

The document summarizes the design of a 14 meter steel beam bridge to transport transformers across the Sutlej River in Himachal Pradesh, India. It provides design details of the bridge's top plate and stiffener plate, including dimensions, material properties, and load calculations. Stress analyses were performed to check that the top plate and stiffener plate stresses do not exceed their yield strengths under the expected loads from transport skids. The analyses confirmed the design was sufficient and stresses were within allowable limits.

Length of Skid Pad = 300 mm


Breath of Skid Pad = 250 mm
Area of Skid Pad = 75000 mm2
Load on Skid Pad = 3.75 MT
Pressure Below Skid Pad p = 0.5 N/mm2
Bending Stress at Centre of Plate 0.1386x pxa2/t2 = 127.3 N/mm2
Refer Roark's Formula < 165 N/mm2
Hence ok
