Summary

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the buckling of transversely stiffened shear webs when the stiffeners have a thickness less than that of the web-plate.

It is shown that the effectiveness of such stiffeners is greatly influenced by two factors, the ratio of the thickness of the attached leg to that of the web-plate and the position of the connecting rivet. An empirical design rule relating these two factors is presented.
