COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF AASHTO PLATE GIRDERS IN PURE BENDING WITH LOAD-FACTOR DESIGN

A computer program has been developed to perform the calculations to analyze AASHTO plate-girder cross sections in pure bending with load-factor design. The program is based on an extensive search of current design specifications and will analyze a straight girder or curved girder with hybrid or homogeneous steel elements. The procedure used by this computer program to analyze plate girders is described. Several interpretations of the AASHTO specifications made during the development of this computer program are described.
