Guidelines for Planning, Analysis, Design and Stability of Transfer Girders

Transfer girder plays a very significant role in design of mega and as well as small structures. Some times for architectural purposes buildings are designed without using any column for a very large span. In such case if ordinary beams are provided they can cause failure such as flexural failure. To avoid this problem of construction of some very long span halls etc the concept of deep beams is very effective and durable. Many times when the necessity of transfer girder arises in the cases mentioned above, design engineer has to suffer a lot. Step by step procedure for the design of transfer girder is not available on web or in any text book. Here with the help of this paper an honest effort are taken to give guidelines to the design engineers for Planning, Analysis, Design and Construction of Transfer Girders with the help of strut and tie model.
