The overall slenderness [[lambda].sub.0] of a stainless steel column is commonly defined as:
Using obtained by FEM results it is possible to note that under different thicknesses and consequently different slenderness of plate in diapason 167 [less than or equal to] a/[t.sub.w] [less than or equal to] 500 relation between critical stresses of clamped plate without stiffener [[tau].sub.cr] and critical stresses of stiffened plate [[tau].sup.stif.sub.cr]/ there is very stable tie.
This formula is expressed as a function of the plate slenderness ratio b and column (stiffener) slenderness ratio [lambda] (see Appendix A for further information):
The physical model is idealized with one BSWI element and analyzed for a wide range of thick to thin beams by changing the slenderness ratio of R/h.
