..., a theoretical model for predicting the strengths of T-joints reinforced with T-shaped stiffeners was developed. To estimate the stiffener strengths, the model postulates a ve-hinge collapse mechanism, which is analysed by way of the upper-bound theorem. At the position of the hinges, the stiffener is assumed...
