Abstract
The thesis presents an analytical investigation of tapered plate girder web panel. Three dimensional non-linear finite element analyses have been performed for tapered plate girder web panel subjected to pure shear. Several parameters have been examined: web slenderness ratio; web aspect ratio; flange to web thickness ratio; flange width; tapering angle; tension field direction; existence of transversal stiffners. These parameters have been studied to evaluate the critical buckling shear stress and ultimate shear strength of tapered plate girder and to propose a new formula to assess the value of critical buckling shear stress and ultimate shear strength
