Q1:

If d is the distance between the flange angles, the vertical stiffeners in plate girders without horizontal stiffeners, are spaced at a distance not less than

A 0.15 d

B 0.22 d

C 0.33 d

D 0.44 d

ANS:C - 0.33 d

Max Spacing of vertical stiffners = 1.5d.
Min Spacing of vertical stiffners= 0.33d.
