Abstract: A method of analysis for built‐up columns is presented. The method is an extension of the classical Engesser method for columns and the Timoshenko shear‐beam theory for beams. The two column chords are treated as beams ...

Abstract: The buckling of columns with finite shear stiffness such as built‐up and laced columns is investigated. The methods of analysis associated with Engesser and Haringx are compared. The difference between the methods can be ...

Abstract: A method of analysis for beams with shear‐lag effects from wide flanges or with shear deformations resulting from shear studs in composite beams is presented. The basic idea is to replace the real beam with an analog beam, ...

Abstract: Experiments were performed to determine the coefficient of friction between concrete and steel. The nominal normal stress varied from 1 P.S.I. to 68,000 P.S.I. The coefficient of friction was found to be nearly constant ...

Abstract: It is a well‐known paradox in the theory of plastic plate buckling that the discredited deformation theory of plasticity predicts the buckling stress well, whereas the generally accepted incremental theory predicts a ...

Abstract: Current practice in buckling design is based on the ultimate strength of a member such that excessive lateral deflections do not occur. This ultimate strength is often dictated by empirically derived formulae which correspond ...
