Thin webs are stiffened transversely to protect it from buckling. In combined loadings of bending (M), shear (V) and axial compression (P), dominating actions for buckling is axial compression (P) and shear (V). The present study is aimed towards understanding Limit State behaviour of transversely stiffened web of girder in pure axial compression (P), pure shear (V) and hence in combined action of compression and shear. The span to depth ratio (aspect ratio, a/b) of web panel plays important role in this regard. Further the V – P interaction is also studied & verified. Numerical analysis by FEM for pure axial compression and pure shear are validated by classical analysis.
