Post-buckling strength of steel tee columns (No. R937)
Published 2013This paper examines the effects of torsional post-buckling on the strengths of tee section steel columns which fail in local, torsional or flexural modes. Flexural-torsional buckling is not considered, but the post-buckling ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Buckling Studies of Cold-Formed Channels in Shear using the Semi-Analytical Finite Strip and Spline Finite Strip Methods (No. R932)
Published 2013The finite strip method is computationally efficient for the static, stability, post-buckling and vibration analyses of thin-walled structures. The finite strip employs simple polynomial functions to describe the transverse ...Open AccessReport, Research -
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
