The Width-Thickness Ratio Limits of Thin-Walled Steel Elements with Complex Edge Stiffeners

Complex edge stiffeners are widely used because of their superior performance over simple edge stiffeners in limiting flange buckling and improving local stability. However, most of the studies on complex edge stiffeners are qualitative. In this paper, the criterion to judge the stiffening adequacy...
