Why can processing a flat plate into a corrugated plate improve its bending resistance?

The moment of inertia is larger. Because the bending plate has a greater moment of inertia. The two-way corrugation completely changes the mechanical properties of the original steel plate. The grooved corrugation formed by forward rolling greatly improves the lateral stiffness of the steel plate, which is the basis of the structural bearing capacity. The enhancement of the bending resistance of corrugated plates is equivalent to adding muscles to the flat plate.
