The results of five tests on narrow stiffened panels under axial compression until collapse and beyond are presented to investigate the collapse behaviors of stiffened panels. Tension tests were used to evaluate the material properties of the stiffened panels. The tests were made on panels with two half bays plus one full bay in the longitudinal direction. Initial loading cycles were used to eliminate the residual stresses of the stiffener panels. The strain gauges were set on the plates and the stiffeners to record the strain histories. The displacement load relationship was established. The collapse behavior, modes of failure and load-carrying capacity of the stiffened panels are investigated with the experiment.
