The high torsional strength of box girders makes them ideal for girders curved in plan. Recently thin steel plate shear walls have been effectively used in buildings. Such walls behave as vertical plate girders with the building columns as flanges and the floor beams as intermediate stiffeners. Although traditionally simply supported plate and box girders are built up to 150 ft span several three-span continuous girder bridges have been built in the . with center spans exceeding 400 ft. In its simplest form a plate girder is made of two flange plates welded to a web plate to form an I section and a box girder has two flanges and two webs for a single-cell box and more than two webs in multi-cell box girders Figure . The designer has the freedom in proportioning the cross-section of the girder to achieve the most economical design and taking advantage of available high-strength steels. The larger dimensions of plate and box girders result in the use of slender webs and flanges making buckling problems .
