A POSSIBLE DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR STIFFENED COMPRESSION PANELS

A possible design of stiffened compression panels is suggested for use in bridge construction. The design is based on the fictitious yield concept, instead of effective width, for interacting local and overall buckling. The form of construction incorporates stiffened plating with evenly spaced longitudinal stiffeners between cross-frames. The buckling strength and stiffness of the design is analysed and reasons for favouring the fictitious yield approach are discussed. /TRRL/
