This paper aims to numerically analyse the ultimate strength of transversely cracked steel plates under longitudinal compressive loading, considering the effect of initial distortion as well. The main objective of this study is to investigate the ultimate compressive strength characteristics of an unstiffened steel plate due to transverse cracking damages located in the middle (i.e. centre cracks and edge cracks). To achieve that, a series of non-linear finite element (FE) analyses are carried out using ANSYS commercial finite element code. The obtained FE results are discussed to indicate the amount of crack influence, in terms of its length and location, on the ultimate compressive strength of a steel plate element with different thicknesses.

This paper presents the assessment of the ultimate compressive strength of damaged steel plates with a local dent. The explicit nonlinear finite element code from ABAQUS program was employed to simulate dynamically the dent damage. Therefore, the residual stresses due to the damage were considered in subsequent numerical compression analyses. A parametric study of plates considering residual stresses, geometric imperfections and dents was accomplished. Results showed that local dent is the dominant parameter for the ultimate strength of damaged plates. For a particular dent depth, the effect of welding induced geometric imperfections and residual stresses can be disregarded from the analysis. Afterwards, analytical expressions were developed to estimate the ultimate strength of damaged plates.
