Torsional Buckling

Axial Capacity of Steel Column or Strut

by
steel column in an industry

Capacity of Steel Column Columns are those structural elements which predominantly carries axial compression in a structural system. In steel construction, the column is the vertical member which is subjected to axial load and strut is the inclined member subjected to the same. Steel is a very strong material but it does lead to slender … Read more

Lateral Torsional Buckling in Beams = Lateral Deflection + Torsion

by
Lateral Torsional Buckling of a Beam Girder

Lateral Torsional Buckling in Beams = Lateral Deflection + Torsion Summary Lateral torsional buckling occurs when an applied load causes both lateral displacement and twisting of a member. This failure is usually seen when a load is applied to an unconstrained, steel I-beam, with the two flanges acting differently, one under compression and the other … Read more
