What is effective width concept?

The effects of local buckling can be evaluated by using the concept of effective width.
Lightly stressed regions at center are ignored, as these are least effective in resisting the
applied stresses. Regions near the supports are far more effective and are taken to be fully effective. The section behavior is modelled on the basis of the effective width
