A large number of studies have been carried out for predicting and calculating the ultimate strength of plate girders under patch loading. In 1983, a modified theory of Roberts and Rockey's one was proposed by Moriwaki et al, taking account of the web buckling strength. That theory enables us to predict most accurate values of the ultimate strength, but is applicable under limited conditions. In this paper, an accurate calculation method based on new mechanism models is developed, taking into account coexisting bending stress and shearing one, which exists under more usual conditions.
