The Buckling of Shallow Corrugated Webs in Shear

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 July 2016

Summary

The results of a series of shear buckling tests on shallow, flat-sided, corrugated webs are presented, and a comparison made with a theoretical analysis in which the web is assumed to buckle either as an orthotropic plate or in a local mode. An expression is derived for the efficiency of a corrugated web in shear, and used to compare the four shapes of cross-section tested.
