This paper discusses the development of a computer program to analyze elastic local buckling stress based on Eurocode 3 Part 1.3 for the flange and web of cold-formed channel columns under compression at elevated temperatures. The high-temperature, stress-strain relationships of the steel used in this paper were determined according to Eurocode 3 Part 1.2. The critical temperatures and the elastic local buckling stresses of cold-formed channel columns under compression at elevated temperatures were analyzed with the computer program developed in this study. Analysis examples were given to show the applicability of the computer program.

An efficient approach to the buckling analysis of stiffened cylindrical shells with rings and stringers under the axial and the lateral pressure loadings is presented. By this approach, the local buckling as well as overall buckling behavior has been investigated considering the discreteness of stiffeners and appropriate adoption of displacement functions. Some design criteria based on structural stability to determine optimum scantlings of stiffeners are also suggested. It is shown that the optimum scantlings of stiffeners can be designed from the condition of equal local and overall buckling strength.

The design and buckling behavior of earth retaining system supported by high strength steel pipe and PHC pile under compression is presented in this study. Buckling analysis of various strut system was investigated according to the strut total length(30m, 60m, 90m), three types of built-up columns and connection condition. Buckling loads calculated by F.E analysis was compared with the theoretical solution corresponding to diagonal buckling mode, local and global buckling mode of main strut. The design of the built-up column struts are performed based on design guide for high strength steel pipes and P-M diagram for built-up column with two PHC pile section.

This paper studies on the instability behaviour of the Seoul southwest baseball dome. The nonlinear Snapping phenomenon of the structure is investigated about the load mode by the design load of analysis structure and these combined loads. The initial imperfection obtains the buckling mode through the eigenvalue analysis of the tangential stiffness matrix and uses this for the nonlinear analysis. However, the buckling of members or the local buckling, and etc don't consider in the research range of this research task. Also it is limited the overall buckling phenomenon.

In this study, the computationally efficient inelastic buckling analysis program is developed to be used as the research tool in finding buckling strength of inelastic members. The program can determine buckling loads and buckled shapes of elastic and inelastic members which failed by flexural, lateral-torsional and/or local buckling. It can analyze singly and doubly symmetric I-shape members. In the program, the web of the member is modeled using the plate element and the flanges are modeled by beam elements. Multilinear isotropic hardening rule and the incremental theory of plasticity are used to simulate the inelastic stress-strain relationship from material tests. The program is verified using theoretical solutions and experimental results. The results from the program show good agreement with those from experiments and theory.

Well-designed steel moment connections will undergo local buckling before they exhaust their available rotation capacity, and inelastic post-buckling deformation plays a major role in defining the connection rotation capacity. An approximate analytical method to model strength degradation and failure of beam plastic hinges due to local buckling and estimation of the seismic rotation capacity of fully restrained beam-column connections in special steel moment-resisting frames under both monotonic and cyclic loading conditions is proposed in this study. This method is based on the plastic mechanism and a yield line plastic hinge (YLPH) model whose geometry is determined using the shapes of the buckled plastic hinges observed in experiments. The proposed YLPH model was developed for the improved WUF-W and RBS connections and validated in comparison with experimental data. The effects of the beam section geometric parameters on the rotation capacity were discussed in the companion paper (parametric studies).

This paper presents modelling approaches for the global and distortional buckling of cold-formed built-up steel sections using the finite element software packages, ANSYS and ABAQUS. Thin thickness of the cold-formed steel causes nonlinear behaviour due to local and distortional buckling, thus careful consideration is required in modelling for numerical analysis. Implicit static modelling using ANSYS provides unstable numerical results as the load approaches the limit point but explicit dyamic modelling with ABAQUS is able to display the behaviour even in post-buckling range. Meanwhile, axial load capacities obtained from the numerical analysis show higher values than the experimental axial capacities, due to eccentricity during the test. Axial capacities of the cold-formed steel obtained through numerical analysis requires reduction factor, and this paper suggests 0.88 for the factor.

High performance steel for bridges(HSB 800) with a minimum tensile stress of 800MPa was recently developed. However, the study for local buckling behavior of plate girders considering interactive effects of flanges and webs is still insufficient. In this study, the flange local buckling(FLB) strength of plate girders with HSB 800 was evaluated by nonlinear finite element analysis. The flanges and webs of plate girders having I-section were modeled as 3D shell elements in the nonlinear analysis. Initial imperfection and residual stress were imposed on the plate girder. The high performance steel was modeled as a multi-linear material. Thus, parametric study of compression flanges with a compact, noncompact and slender web was performed. The flange local buckling behavior of plate girders was analyzed, and the nonlinear analysis results were compared with the nominal flexural strength of both AASHTO LRFD(2012) and KHBDC LSD(2012) codes.

In this paper, we present the analytical study results pertaining to the buckling of the orthotropic plates and local buckling of structural compression members composed of orthotropic plate components. Fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (FRP) materials, have many advantages over conventional structural materials such as steel and concrete. The advantages of the FRP materials are high specific strength and stiffness, high corrosion resistance, right weight, etc. Among the various manufacturing methods, pultrusion process is one of the best choices for the mass production of structural plastic members. Since the major reinforcing fibers are placed along the axial direction of the member, this material is usually considered as an orthotropic (tranversely isotropic, more specifically) material. However, pultruded fiber reinforced plastic structural members have low modulus of elasticity and are composed of orthotropic thin plate components the members are prone to buckle. Therefore, stability is an important issue in the design of the pultruded FRP structural members. In this paper, the buckling of orthotropic plates and the local buckling of pultruded FRP structural members are investigated by following the previous research results and the local buckling strength of the member produced in the domestic manufacturer is found.

The back-to-back and box-shaped headers used in light gauge steel structures have some disadvantages, i.e., construction efficiency and cost competitiveness. As such, cold-formed steel L-shaped headers have been developed and are used actively in advanced nations. However, this system has not been used in Korea because of inadequate investigation and adaptation efforts and lack of application example. Thus, this research evaluated the structural performance of L-header using buckling analyses and bending tests. Test results were compared using the AISI design criteria. Test results showed that local buckling and distortional buckling governed buckling behavior in gravity loads and uplift loads, respectively. These results were consistent with the calculated nomial strengths using the AISI design criteria.
