Tension field action in plate girders is a type of flexural behavior that occurs when a plate girder becomes subjected to axial loads. It occurs when the flanges of the girder, which are in tension, are unsupported over a span, resulting in a curved flexural shape. The tension field action results in an increase in strength and stiffness in the girder, allowing it to handle larger loads than would be possible without this effect.
