Bearing Stiffener Calculation - S16.1

[rquerin]

I am fairly sure there was an update to the method of calculating the local bearing capacity of beams with respect to web crippling and stiffener requirements. I thought something was updated lately (newer than whats in my S16.1-94 codebook).

Can anybody refresh my memory or am I going nuts?

you should really get yourself a copy of S16-01, the latest version of S16. There have been a lot of changes over the previous code

the formulae for calculating web crippling have been changed, by the way
