In-Plane Stability Bearing Capacity of Variable Section Column

Abstract:

Variable section portal frame is increasingly concerned and is widely used for its economy, beauty and short construction period, compared with other traditional structures. In-plane stability response of variable section columns of portal frames is the focus of this paper. Results are presented for parameters influence of variable section column on the in-plane stability bearing capacity with finite element analysis. References are proposed for practical application compared with computational formulas of Technical Specification for Steel Structure of Light-Weight Buildings with Gabled Frames.
