In this paper, thin rectangular steel plates with stiffeners are examined under compressive loading. Consequently, nonlinear buckling finite element analysis (FEA) solutions are obtained by using ANSYS®. The local and global buckling patterns of stiffened steel plate geometries with simply supported boundary conditions are generated and critical buckling stresses are studied. Geometrically nonlinear buckling analyses are compared in order to evaluate the distributions of compressive stresses versus in-plane contractions and compressive stresses versus out-of plane deflections. Hence, it is concluded that there are critical load intervals. It is also observed that for critical loads, segments between stiffeners may switch from stable to unstable configurations under compressive stresses.
