The following Table shows some important results of the iteration to find the final nominal dimensions of
the edge stiffener and the value of the reduction factor which counts for the distorsional buckling. It is
interesting to mention that all these parameters are NOT dependent on the real stresses, but only on
geometrical and material data. The effect of stresses will be considered later in the determination of the
reduced thickness of the plate elements of edge stiffener.

Remarks:
It is assumed that a C-section is approx. symmetrical. Thus, utilization of plastic capacity
is allowed.
In the first part of equation (6.5) of EC3 "fyb" is written, which seems to be meaningless.
Thus, it is changed to "fya".
