S ¼ a non-dimensional slenderness parameter (b/t) ðsy=EÞ<br />

sy ¼ yield stress <strong>of</strong> the plate.<br />

<strong>The</strong> author has also shown[14] that the value <strong>of</strong> m that is reached when the<br />

applied stress s1 reaches the ultimate strength <strong>of</strong> the panel is given by<br />

In Section 5.4.4 it was stated that, on the basis <strong>of</strong> the specified tolerances on<br />

workmanship, d0 can be assumed as 0.145S. For any particular value <strong>of</strong> S, d0 can thus be quantified, and then from equation (5.48) the value <strong>of</strong> m may be<br />

obtained by successive approximation. <strong>The</strong> amplitude <strong>of</strong> the cosine distribution<br />

for s2/sy can then be obtained from equation (5.47). By this procedure a graph<br />

for s2/sy against slenderness parameter S was drawn. It was found that s2/sy could be taken as:<br />

(1) zero, up to S ¼ 1.0<br />

(2) 0.5, for S > 3.6<br />

(3) 0.192 (S 1), for 1.0 < S < 3.6.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cosine distribution <strong>of</strong> s 2 on the edge, given by equation (5.46), causes<br />

a bending moment distribution on the girder flange on the edge, given by<br />

M ¼ b2<br />

4p2 <strong>The</strong> moment <strong>of</strong> resistance <strong>of</strong> the flange section MR has to be at least a safety<br />

factor times the maximum value <strong>of</strong> the above bending moment. Taking account<br />

<strong>of</strong> the longitudinal stress already present in the flange due to the bending<br />

moment on the girder, the plastic moment <strong>of</strong> resistance MR can be taken as<br />

where<br />
