Abstract

Abstract A simple yet accurate method is presented for computing the ultimate strength of stiffened box members in combined compression and bending as an extension of a previously proposed algorithm for unstiffened box sections. The method is based on the strut approach, which is widely used for a strength analysis of stiffened plate panels in compression. The computed results for simply supported stiffened plates in compression and bending compare well with available solutions obtained from a more sophisticated FEM analysis. The results are further discussed in relation to various aspects.
