Design Procedure
Initial Sizing
1) Taking L/d as 15, calculate min. d and provide suitably
25
Design Procedure
6) Check for shear capacity of web
V < Vd = Vn/ mo; Vn = A (fyw /3) or Vcr
26
Design Procedure
• 8.7 Stiffener design
– a) Intermediate Transverse Web Stiffener To improve
the buckling strength of slender web due to shear.
27
Design Procedure
11) End panel design – check as a beam between flanges
