How to Create Plate Girders in Risa 3D?
(OP)
I use Risa 3D Version 5.0. I am trying to create a plate girder and I keep getting the following message:
"Web is slender per Table B5.1, handle as a plate girder"
Can anyone please help.
Thanks

Are you familiar with plate girder design? They often require stiffeners where typical WF members don't. I don't know for sure if you can get RISA3D to design stiffeners for you or if all you get is a warning to alert you to the slender web. You may need to design the stiffeners yourself - not a tough task.

Wide Flange Shapes - Code checks for shapes that qualify as plate girders, as defined by Chapter G, are not performed. Plate girders that can be checked by the provisions of Chapter F will have code checks calculated.
