In the present paper, the effect of multiple longitudinal web stiffeners (up to four) located at their optimum
location on the ultimate strength of steel plate girders subjected to predominant shear loading, and combined
bending and shear loading is investigated by using nonlinear inelastic analysis. Three dimensional (3D) fnite
element (FE) models of the steel plate girder are developed and analyzed by using ABAQUS commercial software. The accuracy of the FE models is validated by comparing their results with analogous experimental data.
An extensive parametric analysis has been carried out to estimate the influence of specifc geometric parameters
on the ultimate strength. It has b...
