Buckling of stiffeners for stainless steel trapezoidal sheeting
The calculation of the loadbearing capacity of thin‐walled structures, including trapezoidal sheeting, normally follows the procedures of EN 1993‐1‐3 and similar codes. EN 1993‐1‐4 complements this standard for thin‐walled structures made of stainless steel. Unfortunately, a buckling curve for stiffeners between the plane cross‐section parts of the flanges or the webs is lacking. A finite element analysis was performed in order to obtain a buckling curve for such stiffeners. The finite element model was calibrated based on test results and by recalculating the EN 1993‐1‐3 buckling curve for the stiffeners in trapezoidal sheeting made of non‐alloy structural steel. The results of the research into the loadbearing behaviour of thin‐walled stainless steel trapezoidal sheeting presented here are closing this gap: the proposed addition to the design formulae means it is now possible to carry out a complete calculation of the loadbearing capacity of stainless steel trapezoidal sheeting.
