What is the use of Reduction Factors in Plate Girder Design?

Buckling of the web due to in-plane bending does not exhaust its capacity; however, the distribution of the compressive bending stress changes in the post-buckling range and the web becomes less efficient. Only part of the compression portion of the web can be assumed effective after buckling. A reduction in the girder moment capacity to account for the web bend buckling can be used, called reduction factors.
