Post-buckling behaviour of prestressed steel stayed columns

Post-local Buckling of Steel Plates in Concrete-filled Thin- Walled Steel Tubular Columns under Biaxial Loading

This paper studies the post-local buckling behaviour of steel plates in concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular columns under biaxial loading using the finite element method. Geometric and material nonlinear finite element analyses are undertaken to investigate the post-local buckling strengths of imperfect steel plates under stress gradients. Based on the results obtained from the nonlinear ...

Post-buckling analysis of non-prismatic columns under general behaviour of loading

The paper shows the effects of behaviour of loading during the buckling process on the value of critical force and initial stability of post-buckling path for elastic, non-prismatic columns. Perturbation method combined with Croll’s manoeuvre makes it possible to derive general formulae for the first or the second correction of the force, and hence to analyze stability in the post-buckling rang...

Buckling of liquid columns.

Under appropriate conditions, a column of viscous liquid falling onto a rigid surface undergoes a buckling instability. Here we show experimentally and theoretically that liquid buckling exhibits a hitherto unsuspected complexity involving three different modes-viscous, gravitational, and inertial-depending on how the viscous forces that resist bending of the column are balanced. We also find t...

Inelastic Behavior of Concrete-filled Thin-walled Steel Tubular Columns Subjected to Local Buckling

This paper is concerned with the inelastic behavior of axially loaded concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular columns subjected to local buckling. A nonlinear fiber element analysis program accounting for local buckling effects is developed for predicting the ultimate strength and ductility of concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular columns. The effects of local buckling are taken into cons...
