Abstract :
the semi-analytical complex finite strip method is used to study the elastic local buckling of I-sections in bending containing a longitudinal tiffener attached to the web.the optimum position of this stiffener is calculated to maximise the web local buckling stress.the local buckling of the stiffener is then considered and recommendations are made regarding the stiffener proportions that would cause yield of the stiffener before it buckled locally
