The results of an exploratory experimental investigation of the effects of replacing alternate webs in a multiweb beam by open, post-stringer construction are reported. Post-stringer (either upright or inclined posts) construction is shown to perform the function of comparable-weight, solid, fabricated webs in the stabilization of the compression cover of a beam in bending both before and after buckling.
