Contribution of longitudinal stiffener rigidity and position to bridge girder integrity by Emanuele Maiorana

“…For this purpose, seven forms of open and closed sections of longitudinal stiffeners, with differing second moment of area, are examined in terms of buckling coefficient by theoretical solution and numerical calculation, to compare their contribution in terms of weight per linear meter of beam. The optimum value of a conventional flat stiffener position, respect panel height and an useful practical law is given to correlate the best position with respect to variations in stress gradient, from pure bending to pure compression. …”
