Abstract: This paper is concerned with the application of the direct strength method to equal angle section beam-columns with locally unstable legs. In contrast to existing design methods, which independently determine the compression ...

Abstract: The paper addresses the design of angle section columns whose legs are slender and thus subject to local buckling in their ultimate limit state. For such slender angle sections, the local buckling mode is identical to the ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the background information and methodology used to derive a set of buckling curves proposed for cold-formed stainless steel columns and beams incorporated in the recently revised SEI/ASCE 8-21 ...

Abstract: The paper develops a stiffness reduction factor to be used in geometric nonlinear beam-element type elastic analysis of cold-formed steel structures. The factor accounts for the reduction in flexural and warping torsion ...

Abstract: The atmospheric angular momentum balance is studied by analyzing the data during a simulated January of the Oregon State University two-level atmospheric general circulation model. Monthly zonal means of the Coriolis ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental investigation of cold-formed, thin-walled stainless steel sections subject to distortional buckling under compression. Austenitic 304, ferritic 430 stainless steel, and ferritic-like ...

Abstract: The paper describes a design procedure for stainless-steel columns failing by flexural buckling. In the approach, the stress-strain curve is assumed to be expressed as a Ramberg-Osgood curve, defined in terms of the initial ...

Abstract: The paper describes a test program on cold-formed plain channel columns compressed between fixed ends and pinned ends. Whereas it is well-known that local buckling of pin-ended channel columns induces overall bending, this ...
