Abstract: Hand methods of calculating buckling loads of inelastic moment gradient beams are developed. An inelastic parameter, the stiffness modification factor,

Abstract: The paper concerns the elastic out‐of‐plane buckling of monosymmetric beam‐columns/tie‐beams under uniform moment or eccentric axial loads. A new set of parameters is introduced to describe the buckling behavior of such ...

Abstract: The paper compares two elasto‐plastic models for incorporating the effects of material nonlinearity into a finite element procedure in the large deflection analyses of angle beam columns and trusses. These are the fiber ...

Abstract: The elastic flexural‐torsional buckling of cantilever I‐beams is investigated. The cantilevers have rigid translational or rotational restraints or both at discrete points. The effect of the beam parameter,
