Gordo, J.M. and Guedes Soares, C. (2008), “Compressive Tests on Short Continuous Panels”, Marine Structures, Vol. 21, pp. 113–137

Results are presented of 8 tests on stocky panels under axial compression until collapse and beyond. The tests consider panels with different combinations of mechanical material properties and geometric configurations for the stiffeners including the use of ‘U’ shaped stiffeners. The specimens are three bay panels with associated plate made of high tensile steel S690. Four different configurations are considered for the stiffeners, which are made of mild or high tensile steel for bar stiffeners and mild steel for ‘L’ and ‘U’ stiffeners. The influence of the stiffener’s geometry on the ultimate strength of the stiffened panels under compression is analyzed.
