Traditional member-based two-step design approaches included in current structural codes
for steel structures, as well as more recent system-based direct-design alternatives, require …

There is a wide variety of stainless steel alloys, but all are characterized by a rounded stress–
strain response with no sharply defined yield point. This behaviour can be represented …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) members are susceptible to geometric imperfections due to the
high length-to-thickness ratio of the flat partitions, in other words, high slenderness …

Cold-formed steel (CFS) built-up battened columns are employed to obtain a sufficient load-
bearing capacity when individual profiles cannot withstand the specified stresses. This …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the performance of cold-formed
stainless steel built-up closed section stub columns. The built-up sections were composed …

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive experimental programme aimed at
studying the interaction of local and overall flexural buckling in cold-formed steel (CFS) plain …

This study is focussed on the performance evaluation of built-up cold-formed steel (CFS)
columns under monotonically increasing axial compression loading. Five test specimens of …

This paper aims to study the interaction of local and overall flexural buckling in cold-formed
steel (CFS) channels under axial compression. Detailed nonlinear FE models were …

A post-buckling behaviour analysis and an ultimate load estimation of thin-walled composite
channel columns under a constant rate of end shortening are presented. The columns with …

Stainless steel has many advantages when used in structures, however, the initial cost is
high. Hence, it is essential to develop reliable and accurate design methods that can …
