Deteriorating behavior of steel members in post-buckling range
Abstract
An analytical method to predict the load-deformation relationships including post-buckling and deteriorating behavior of steel members governed by local-buckling is proposed. This method is based upon the ultimate behavior of stub-columns cut out from steel members, and applied to beams and beam-columns with box sections as well as wide flange sections. The wide flange sections are manufactured by welding, and the box sections cover three types of manufacturing process, i.e., welding, roll forming, and press forming. The calculated load-deflection curves of beams and beam-columns are shown to coincide very well with experimental results.
