초록

Stiffened plates are among the most popular structural elements for marine structures like ships or offshore platforms. Many researchers have performed and reported the results of structural tests on stiffened plates in the open literature. However, the behaviour of stiffened plates in post-ultimate regime has not been fully reported. This paper reports the results of twenty-one axial compression tests including the initial imperfections and material properties of the test models. In aiming to investigate the post-ultimate behaviour of stiffened panels, the axial shortenings were increased up to far beyond the ultimate state. The results obtained from these tests can be utilized in substantiating design formulae in predicting the post-ultimate behaviour of stiffened plates.
