Plate Girder Preliminary Sizing

The document provides preliminary sizing and deflection calculations for a plate girder under its self-weight, with a span of 7 meters and various dimensions for flanges and web thicknesses. The calculated deflection due to self-weight is 1.16 mm, which is within the permissible limit of 29.17 mm. Additionally, it includes non-composite section properties such as area and moment of inertia for the girder components.
