Wagners Beam Cycle (No. R916)
Published 2011This paper summarises a number of research studies on the torsion and buckling behaviour of beams which derive from a theory developed by Wagner, who extended Timoshenko’s treatment of the elastic buckling of I-section ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Experimental Investigation and Direct Strength Design of High Strength Complex C-Sections in Pure Bending (No. R925)
Published 2012Plain C or Z-sections are two of the most common cold-formed steel shapes in use throughout the world. Other shapes are high strength SupaCee® and SupaZed® steel sections which are widely used in Australia as purlins in ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Shear Buckling of Thin-Walled Channel Sections with Complex Stiffened Webs (No. R924)
Published 2012For cold-formed channel section design in shear, the traditional approach has been to investigate shear plate buckling in the web alone. Recently, an improvement in the elastic buckling stress of the whole thin-walled ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Finite Element Modelling and Parametric Studies of Perforated Thin-Walled Steel Columns (No. R948)
Published 2014This report presents a comprehensive parametric study on the ultimate strength of perforated cold-formed steel columns using the Finite Element package ABAQUS. FE models were first developed for columns predisposed to local ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Experimental Investigations into Interactive Buckling of Ultra-Light Gauge Steel Storage Rack Uprights (No. R927)
Published 2012This report presents an experimental investigation into the behaviour of ultra light-gauge steel storage rack uprights subjected to compression. Two different types of members with varying lengths are tested and while the ...Open AccessReport, Research
