Abstract
This paper gives results of numerical analysis on the web plates subjected to a patch load having a horizontal stiffener. The Dynamic Relaxation Method is used for the numerical method. Patch length and the support condition of upper edges of web plates are adopted as parameters, and relatively larger patch length is used. Results obtained through the analysis are compared to those of authors’ previous study which deals with patch-loaded plates having no stiffener. Through the analysis, behaviour of patch-loaded web plates up to collapse and layouts of yield lines are cleared. The contribution of stiffener is also found; in most cases a stiffener is effective to increase the strength of plates, however, in certain case, a stiffener decrease the strength.
