Abstract
It has long been identified that stiffening of steel shells is one of the most effective ways of enhancing the capacity of these structures. Stiffeners largely in the form of welded elements have been employed to strengthen shell structures in which the stiffeners generally cover the whole length of the structure. In this research the effect of partial and full length stiffening of shells was studied in which the stiffeners were attached without welding to avoid the adverse effect of the residual stresses. Furthermore, local thickening of the shells by the same stiffening strips was investigated and the results were evaluated against the plain specimen. The effect of strengthening provided by local thickening was slightly less but comparable to that provided by the stiffeners.
