Abstract: | Test results are presented of eight stiffened panels subjected to axial compression until collapse and beyond. The specimens are three-bay stiffened panels with associated plate made of very high tensile steel S690. The use of this very high strength steel led to the unconventional solution of using U stiffeners and this paper aims at understanding the difference of performance of this stiffener type as compared with the conventional ones. Four different configurations are considered for the stiffeners, which are made of mild or high tensile steel for bar stiffeners and mild steel for ‘L’ and ‘U’ stiffeners. The influence of the stiffener's geometry on the ultimate strength of the stiffened panels under compression is analyzed. |
