How do you guys check a steel stiffener for buckling.
I dont really know what dimension(effective width) to take.

I've used the method proposed by mats12 in the past however. I'll typically go with about 1/3 of the available width. I believe that to be fairly conservative but there's no hard science behind it.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
