Abstract The Continuous Strength Method (CSM) is a deformation-based approach to the
design of structures that enables a continuous, rational and accurate allowance for material …

In this study, a section-limiting stress that considers the influence of cross-section
slenderness on the load-carrying capacity proposed by the continuous strength method …

This paper investigates the buckling behaviour and load-carrying capacity of G550 high
strength cold-formed steel built-up section columns under axial compression through …

A testing programme was conducted to investigate the material properties of a new high-
chromium grade of austenitic stainless steel-EN 1.4420 at elevated temperatures. A total of …

The present paper reports experimental and numerical studies of the structural behaviour
and resistances of press-braked austenitic stainless steel slender channel section beam …

The present paper describes a thorough testing and finite element modelling programme on
the material characteristics and local stability of welded I-sections made of a new high …

Structural steel design is traditionally a two step process: first, the internal forces and
moments in the structure are determined from a structural analysis. Then, a series of design …

Due to many advantageous properties such as low specific weight and corrosion resistance,
the use of aluminium alloys for structural purposes is constantly increasing. Consequently, in …

Aluminium alloys are being increasingly used in practical engineering as lightweight and
high-performance building materials. An H-sectional stocky column is one of the most …

This paper reports an experimental and numerical investigation into the local stability of
press-braked stainless steel angle and channel sections. The experimental programme was …
