Gordo, J.M. and Guedes Soares, C. (1997), “Design Methods for Stiffened Plates Under Predominantly Uniaxial Compression", Marine Structures, Vol. 10, pp. 465-497

The performance of three methods to design stiffened panels under predominantly in plane uniaxial compressive load are compared by referring to numerical and experimental results. The prediction of the tripping of the stiffeners is also included in the design method in order to complement its scope of application. Experiments on stiffened plates under compression and lateral pressure are also compared with the methods of strength prediction. A method is proposed in order to decrease the bias and uncertainty as results from the data set considered.
