Influence of Box Column Section Thickness on Local Stability

Core Role of Thickness and Stability: Increasing the thickness of a box column section can significantly improve local stability, enhance compressive and bending resistance, and effectively suppress buckling deformation, but the weight and cost need to be balanced. In marine engineering, insufficient thickness can easily lead to instability, requiring optimized design in conjunction with anti-corrosion requirements.

Comprehensive Optimization Strategy: Reasonably select the thickness to avoid instability due to excessive thinness, and ensure the durability and overall stability of the structure in the marine environment through high-strength welding and anti-corrosion coating treatment.
