When a patch-bearing load acts along a reduced length α a of the top edge of
the panel, the value of α k σ is decreased. This effect has been investigated [15],

For the case of a panel in combined bearing, shear, and bending, it has been
suggested [6, 15] that the elastic buckling stresses can be determined from the

4.6.2 Ultimate strength
The ultimate strength of a thick web in bearing depends chiefly on its yield stress
f y . Although yielding first occurs under the centre of the bearing plate, general
