A Comparison of Cross-Sectional Efficiency of Steel Beam by Increasing Thickness and Adding Transverse Stiffeners

he present study addresses a comparison of the cross-sectional efficiency of steel beam by increasing thickness and adding transverse stiffeners to verify the economical of both methods. By practicing the hand-calculation for both methods, the calculation of the method by increasing thickness is based on the given hypothesis, therefore the result of this researching has…
