Plastic moment capacities for Type V box based on minimum design yield strength of 44.0 ksi [300 MPa] for the formed plate, manufactured from flat plate with a
minimum yield strength of 40.0 ksi [275 MPa]. Moment capacities with stiffeners based on cumulative (non-composite) properties. Moment capacities for plain and stiffened
haunch sections have been adjusted by applying a haunch reduction factor to account for cross-corrugated plates (see Fig. 8). See proceedings of CSCE 2nd Engineering
Materials Symposium, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, June 1995, for further information.
