(2020), “Average stress-strain behaviour of stiffened plates of a box girder in the progressive collapse analysis”, Developments in the Collision and Grounding of Ships and Offshore Structures, C. Guedes Soares (Ed.), Taylor and Francis Group, London, pp. 144-150

The objective is to investigatethe average stress-strainbehaviour of structural componentsas a part of a box girder subjected to progressivecollapse. Two typesof structural components arestudiedhere identified as stiffened plates and hard corners. The bending moment-curvature relationship of the box girder,derived based on the incremental progressive collapse method, usingthe FEM developed average stress-straincurves of the stiffened plates,andhard cornersare analysed and compared with the non-linear finite element solution. Several conclusions derived from the present analysis are alsopresented.
