Abstract

Presents a design method for stub girders consistent with BS 5950: Part 3. The basis of design is simplified by considering that the steel bottom chord resists tension (arising from bending action), vertical shear, and local (Vierendeel) moments across the opening. The design method is compared with the results of three full-scale tests on stub girders and is shown to be conservative but reasonably active. A detailed worked example illustrating the design procedure is included.
