Abstract:In this paper, the bending behavior of circular steel plates with diagonal stiffeners has been studied. A bending analysis of the circular plates with different diagonal stiffeners has been carried out experimentally in order to predict their ultimate bending capacity. Two types of shallow and deep stiffeners of reverse L and rectangular cross sections were installed to strengthen the plates. In the experiments, both simply-supported and clamped-edge boundary conditions were set up under the effect of lateral … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
