Abstract: Folded plate girder system has been promoted as a cost-effective alternative for the design and construction of bridge superstructures due to merits such as low cost and facilitation of accelerated bridge construction. In this thesis analyzing folded plate girder system with corrugated web section in ANSYS 16.1. To investigate the performance of corrugations on web of the girders, first modelling and analyzing a simple I-beam with plane web and corrugated web. Buckling analysis is doing to find out the critical buckling load of the I-beam. Then apply the corrugations to the folded plate girder. Then modelling and analyzing the folded plate girder with plane web and corrugated web. After the analysis, compare the results the folded plate girder with plane web and corrugated web.
