A stiffener flange of width \( 25 \) mm and thickness \( 2 \) mm has a width-to-thickness ratio of
Answer: C
Correct answer: 12.5
The ratio is width over thickness:
\[ \frac{25}{2} = 12.5 \]This is the parameter that governs local buckling of the flange, and hence the crippling stress of the section. A slender flange, with a high ratio, cripples at a low stress; a stocky one may reach yield before buckling locally, which is the practical upper limit on how efficient the section can be.
