The creator of the course on buckling writes:
"This photograph illustrates local buckling of a model box girder constructed from thin plates, not unlike the road deck of the Humber bridge above.
"Inclined striations are caused by shear loading in the web of a beam or in a torqued tube giving rise to compressive buckling stresses at 45o to the longitudinal direction as predicted by Mohr's circle."
