Abstracts: Plate girders are frequently used for steel bridges and long span structures. Our current IS 800 : 2007 suggest Limit State Design for plate girders, also two methods for plate girders design i.e. Tension field theory and Simple post-critical method. But our IS codes has yet not provide ideas about how to use corrugated plate in plate girders. Here, we will be studying in our project “DESIGN OF PLATE GIRDER USING CORRUGATED PLATE” in web element using corrugated plate. Corrugated web girders represent a new structural system emerged in the past two decades. Also, lots of research is currently being performed in plate girder using corrugated plate as a web element. The web plate is first cold formed with waves or corrugations usually parallel to the web depth and then welded to the flanges. Although many types of corrugations are possible, trapezoidal and sinusoidal corrugations are mostly preferred. We will give the comparison between plate girders using corrugated plate and using plain stiffened plate in this project.
