Plate Girders
A girder is a flexural member which is required
to carry heavy loads on relatively long spans

Transverse Stiffeners
In Figure 1 the stiffeners have remained straight.
In Figure 2 the stiffener has failed and has been
unable to limit the buckling to the adjacent sub-
panels of the girder; instead, the buckle has run
through the stiffener position extending over both
panels. Consequently, significant reduction in the
failure load of the girder occurred.
In Figure 1 One can also see the effect of aspect
ratio,i.e greater a/h less k and small Fcr.
