Equivalent axial (NSd) and lateral (qSd) loads

The equivalent axial force should be taken as:

Stiffener cross section:

Flange width 180mm, t=20mm

Web height: 400mm Thickness: 10mm

Known values from previous page 4000 mm plate length or stiffener length l 1000 mm plate width, stiffener spacing. s 20 mm plate thickness t Young modulus of elasticity E 200.00 Gpa x,Sd 180.00 MPa axial stress in plate and stiffener with compressive stresses as positive Since kl >= s, then kl= LG, then kg 5.59 [], where kl is buckling factor for plate between stiffeners. 13.49 [], where kG is buckling factor for plate with the stiffeners removed. Since Sd <= then: = 0.00 MPa

Known values: LG 3000 mm wfl 180 mm tfl 20 mm hw 400 mm tw 10 mm Sd 0.00 MPa M 1.15 []

The cross sectional area of stiffener is As and the full plate cross section area s.t = Therefore, the equivalent axial force, NSd
