Abstract
In recent years, the behavior of corrugate plate has been positively studied in order to make for practical use as a new earthquake-resistant element. Buckling strength of corrugate plate was generally calculated by regarding as anisotropic plate so far. However, it has also been understood in the previous studies that a corrugate plate is somewhat different from an anisotropic plate even if their Out-of-Plane rigidity are almost the same. This paper is intended to present a theoretical and numerical study on the buckling strength of anisotropic and corrugate plate. The quantitative calculations for the buckling strength of the anisotropic plate under bending and shear stress are proposed through parametric studies and the difference between anisotropic and corrugate plate is also discussed.
