Finite Element Analysis on Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Diagonally Stiffened Steel Plates with Different Span-Depth Ratio

Abstract:

The ultimate bearing capacity of diagonally stiffened steel plates with different Span-depth ratio were analyzed by the finite element analysis software ANSYS. During the analysis, three groups of diagonally stiffened steel plates with different Span-depth ratio has been taken numerical investigations on static load, and obtained the stress distribution law of development and contrast characteristics of bearing capacity. Analysis shows components' yield and ultimate loads will be significantly improved with the decrease of Span-depth ratio. That means plates with small Span-depth ratio have better mechanical properties.
