Shear buckling resistance may conveniently be improved by dividing the web into a series of panels by using intermediate vertical stiffeners.
Shear buckling resistance may conveniently be improved by dividing the web into a series of panels by using intermediate vertical stiffeners.
Shear buckling occurs largely as a result of the compressive stresses acting diagonally within the web.
Web stiffening may be required for plate girders to prevent shear buckling.
