THE DESIGN OF PLATE PANELS SUBJECT TO BIAXIAL COMPRESSION AND LATERAL PRESSURE

Simple large deflection elastic analysis, which enables the magnitude of loading to cause yielding at a specified location to be determined, has been used to explore qualitatively the nature of interactions between pressure, longitudinal, transverse, and biaxial compression. The information provides a basis for formulating a design model which incorporates the results of available elasto plastic numerical data, and which enables interaction curves for any side ratio and slenderness, and for any combination of pressure and biaxial compression, to be constructed. Interaction curves for maximum resistance, and for resistance at an average panel strain equal to the yield strain, are presented. It is shown that moderate pressure has a much greater effect on compressive resistance than is suggested by current design rules.
