Although, most of design guidelines for breadth width are based on several idealized steel plate behaviour, the actual behaviour of steel plate is much more complex due to non-linear 3D stress distribution and stress transfer between the stiffeners and plate. In this study, three prototype blast wall structures were designed with varying plate thickness and stiffener properties.

If stiffeners are provided, the critical section may be based on 1.0 times the outside dimension of round columns. Fig. 1 shows the plan and elevation views of the circular base plate under large eccentric loads. Two equilibrium equations can be established to determine the unknowns, such as the magnitude of the resultant anchor bolt force T and the length of the bearing A. The sum of the This paper presents details of an extensive series of tests conducted on stiffened web plates subjected to shear. From the analysis of the results obtained from these tests, new empirical relationships between the flexural rigidity and spacing of the intermediate stiffeners and the buckling stress of the stiffened web plate have been obtained. This document makes the following design and detailing assumptions for elastomeric bearings: 1. The bearings are normally vulcanized to a top plate or sole plate. 2. The bearings are attached to the girder; by field welding or bolting. 3. Masonry plates and anchor rods are not normally required. 4. The bearing bears directly on the concrete
