The connection between the base plating and its reinforcement members as stiffeners may be found in different fillet welding configurations such as continuous and intermittent chain welding. The application of each welding configuration may differ according to the importance of the structural component, its location and the acting load. The aim of the present work is to experimentally evaluate the ultimate compressive capacity of a stiffened plate with different base plating thicknesses and a welded stiffener using different fillet welding configurations. The results are presented in the form of different relationships between axial force\u2013vertical\/lateral displacement relationships and corresponding collapse modes. Discussion and analysis of results are performed for a deep understating of both the local and global behaviour of the stiffened plate, accounting for the absorbed energy within the elastic regime and up to the ultimate limit, with developed regression formulations. Also, a comparison between the experimental results and existing empirical formulations is performed, showing a good agreement and reasonable behaviour.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jmse12122238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]],"date-time":"2024-12-05T09:30:18Z","timestamp":1733391018000},"page":"2238","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Experimental Compressive Assessment of Different Stiffened Plate Welding Configurations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0497-5476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.","family":"Saad-Eldeen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Port Said University, Port Fouad 42526, Egypt"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Mansour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Port Said University, Port Fouad 42526, Egypt"}]},{"given":"Menat-Allah","family":"Eltaramsy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Port Said University, Port Fouad 42526, Egypt"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1016\/j.marstruc.2015.12.001","article-title":"Influence of the welding sequence on residual stress and distortion of fillet welded structures","volume":"46","author":"Fu","year":"2016","journal-title":"Mar.
