Compression Tests of Cold-Reduced High Strength Steel Channel Columns failing in the Distortional Mode (No. R825)
Published 2003This report describes a series of compression tests performed on lipped channel section columns fabricated from cold-reduced high strength steel of thickness 0.42 mm with nominal yield stress 550 MPa. The test results ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Numerical Modelling of Stainless Steel Plates in Compression (No. R813)
Published 2002The report describes the development of numerical models for analysing stainless steel plates in compression. Material tests on coupons cut in the longitudinal, transverse and diagonal directions are included as are the ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Design Models for Thin-Walled Sections in Bending Containing Unstiffened Elements (No. R820)
Published 2002This report presents a general design procedure for calculating the moment capacity of sections containing unstiffened elements under stress gradients. The method uses the design equations for calculating both elastic and ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Lateral Buckling Strengths of Steel Angle Section Beams (No. R812)
Published 2002The design of unbraced steel angle section beams against biaxial bending and torsion requires the ability to predict their lateral buckling strengths when bent about the major principal axis. Present design code formulations ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Strength Curves for Metal Plates in Compression (No. R821)
Published 2002The report presents a plate strength formulation applicable to metal in general, notably metals with nonlinear stress strain curves, such as aluminium and stainless steel alloys. The formulation is based on a generalised ...Open AccessReport, Research
