Synopsis
The important influence of instability effects on the design of structural steelwork is becoming generally accepted. This book has been written with the specific aim of presenting the transition from fundamental theories to practical design. The buckling of steel columns, beams and frames is treated in a manner suitable for both the student seeking an introduction to the subject and the more experienced designer requiring explanation of the background to modern design methods. Methods applicable to design office practice are given for calculating elastic critical loads for columns, beams and complete structures, and the non–linear effects of instability and their relevance to design are discussed
