Abstract: More exact expressions of the fundamental equations of a member with initial imperfections subjected to the action of bending and torsional moments are derived. Since beam problems involve moderately large in‐plane deformation ...

Abstract: An experimental study of the inelastic cyclic load‐deformation behavior of welded built‐up square box‐section short columns subjected to cyclic axial loading is presented. A total of 10 test specimens were fabricated from mild

Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study is presented on the strength of welded box compression members of high strength steel. The member cross sections are composed of plates with relatively large width‐thickness ratios so ...

Abstract: An experimental study is presented on the interaction of local and lateral‐torsional buckling of thin‐walled I‐shaped beams. Welded beams with four different cross‐sectional sizes are tested under a concentrated load at ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate experimentally the local buckling strength and interaction strength between local and overall buckling of closed polygonal section steel columns. A total of 23 specimens was ...

Abstract: The dynamic response and critical state of an inelastic simply supported column under an axial impact are studied. This problem is analyzed by solving the dynamic Bernoulli‐Euler equation with an axial inertia effect within ...
