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 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 ...

Abstract: The paper describes a series of tests on lipped channels compressed between fixed ends. Complete column curves were obtained for two cross sections with different flange slenderness. Detailed measurements were conducted ...

Abstract: This paper describes two series of tests performed on slender I-sections fabricated from high-strength steel plates by welding. Eight tests were conducted on each series. The objectives of the test program were: (1) to ...

Abstract: This paper describes a test program on welded stainless steel X- and K-joints fabricated from circular hollow section (CHS) brace members and chords. The X-joints were tested in compression and tension using three different ...

Abstract: This paper describes a test program on welded stainless steel X- and K-joints fabricated from square hollow section (SHS) brace members and chords. The X-joints were tested in compression and tension using different ratios ...
