5 Stiffened Panels
(Revise first paragraph of Subsection 3/5, as follows.)
(1 February 2012) The failure modes of stiffened panels include beam-column buckling, torsion and flexural
buckling of stiffeners, local buckling of stiffener web and faceplate, and overall buckling of the entire stiffened
panel. The stiffened panel strength against these failure modes is to be checked with the criteria provided
in 3/5.1 through 3/5.7. Buckling state limits for a stiffened panel are considered its ultimate state limits.
