a Profile supporting one or more plate parts
A piece of iron used to stiffen the web of a beam: it may be of angle or tee section. (Plate IL, Fig. 13.)
structural member in the form of angle bar, T-bar, channel, etc. that are used to reinforce side shell plating, bulkhead, etc.
In a case binding, a strip of paper or thin card, cut to the width of the spine, placed between the boards and glued onto the covering material to stiffen or strengthen the spine cloth.
On plate girders, structural steel shapes, such as an angle, are attached to the web to add intermediate strength.
All elements used to support or stiffen the slender webs of box and I-shaped beams and to enhance compressive capability of webs at support points or points of high transverse loads.
An angle, T-bar, channel, built-up section, etc., used to stiffen plating of a bulkhead, etc.
A component fitted to a main member to strengthen it locally against buckling or crushing, or designed to transmit load and prevent local instability at flange web junction of a beam or column.
