Abstract
The torsional rigidity of H-beam with transverse stiffeners will increase due to its stiffeners, and the average angle of rotation per unit length will be smaller than that of H-beam without stiffener.
In this study, torsional experiments of H-beams with transverse stiffeners were performed. From these results, the torsional rigidity of the H-beam with stiffeners was evaluated as the imperfectly restricted warping torsion caused by transverse stiffeners, and the torsional strength was discussed.
