Experimental data of structural tests on non-continuously stiffened steel panels subjected to uniform compression
Year: 2025
Type: data-paper
Abstract: This data article presents experimental datasets from structural tests of 20 open-section and 30 closed-section non-continuously stiffened steel panels subjected to uniform compression. Non-continuous longitudinal stiffening denotes a construction method of flat plates in which the plate's stiffeners end within the panel, i.e., before reaching the transverse stiffener or the end of the girder. The related research article 'Experimental investigation on stiffened plates with non-continuous longitudinal stiffeners ending within the panel' provides a detailed description of the testing program. The dataset includes the measured load-displacement curves, tensile coupon tests, and measured initial geometric imperfections. Therefore, providing all necessary data to both validate a numerical model and steer future experimental work for other load cases. Moreover, a one-page overview yields all relevant data for each of the 50 tested specimens.
