COLUMN ECONOMY CONSIDERING STIFFENING REQUIREMENTS

Transverse stiffeners and web doubler plates are extremely labor-intensive detail materials due primarily to the welding that is associated with their use. If transverse stiffeners and web doubler plates can be eliminated and an unreinforced column can be used, significant cost savings can often be realized. Aditionally, the elimination of column stiffening will simplify (and thereby economize) connections that are made to the weak axis of the column.
