In the paper presented the behavior of a transversely formed box-girder model subjected to pure bending is discussed, where the deck plating of the model is loaded above the buckling load. The experimental results obtained are in reasonable agreement with theoretical investigations and show the influence of fabrication initiated plate deflections on the buckling and postbuckling behavior of the deck plating clearly. A method is suggested for determining the buckling load of plates having large initial deformations.
